My point was illustrative. Basically if we're going to move |
| 9 |
something, then MOVE it, and don't make that conditional on some flag |
| 10 |
(unless you're talking about something more nuanced like library |
| 11 |
location on a multilib system, which is also to be carefully planned). |

You can say that something belongs in A, and I might say it belongs in |
| 14 |
B, but I think we should all agree that it should only be in one place |
| 15 |
or the other, perhaps with compatibility symlinks where necessary (and |
| 16 |
the symlink behavior might be more conditional whether via USE or |
| 17 |
eselect or whatever). |

I don't want a USE=traditional/openrc/gentoo/my-preference flag that |
| 20 |
randomly breaks things when it is or isn't present - depending on |
| 21 |
whether various package maintainers worship at one altar or another. |
