Good point. Could we know the reason it's being considered? If it's license |
| 2 |
issues I can understand that - as long as it's not the Stallman "If it's not |
| 3 |
totally free/open source - it's tainted and has no place in the world" |
| 4 |
philosophy. If there are other reasons can we know them and maybe comment on |
| 5 |
them, too? |

I would like to point out that the argument - "use wine - it works" is not |
| 8 |
valid. Wine does not handle DirectX anywhere near as well as Winex and for |
| 9 |
many apps (not just games) that's an important consideration. Yes, we could |
| 10 |
get it from Transgaming but then I have to install a non-ebuild app on my |
| 11 |
system and I lose the advantages of portage. |
