14 You've misunderstood the meaning of "implicit RDEPEND" in my statement above (I
15 don't blame you, implicit RDEPEND can be a confusing topic). When I say
16 "implicit RDEPEND", I am talking about DEPEND that has been implicitly converted
17 to RDEPEND. Some ebuilds may currently have some implicit RDEPEND that
18 originated as DEPEND in an eclass. If we use the patch to revert that behavior,
19 those specific implicit RDEPEND atoms will go away. I hope this makes sense. :)
