I wouldn't go hunting down and bugging devs for every atom that |
| 12 |
doesn't specify a minimum version - this stuff isn't always easy to |

find. However, if somebody offers a minimum version I'd consider it a |

I think giving the resolver as much information as possible will only |
| 17 |
tend to reduce issues, especially in a distro like Gentoo where doing |
| 18 |
things differently is the norm. |
