I'm going to keep this short: please try to understand that not |
| 26 |
everyone can spend hours of time adjusting every single package |
| 27 |
in Gentoo so that it may finally start working as expected. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
We understand that some people have goals like 'I want Qt everywhere, |
| 30 |
I hate GTK+ so much I'd rather not be able to do anything than have |
| 31 |
GTK+ on my system'. We respect them. But we're no longer going to |
| 32 |
optimize Gentoo for those people. |
