7 NAK. This increases the maintenance effort (even if it means having to
8 open yet another file) for *zero* gain to Gentoo users. Your policy is
9 entirely broken by design and I'm against supporting it officially.

11 The existing number of eclasses is already causing confusion and added
12 maintenance effort, and it has strong justification in *a lot of shared
13 code*.

15 To say it bluntly: if you want to do stupid things, do them yourselves
16 and don't expect others to help. You get paid for that. We just waste
17 our time.
