I cannot argue with this one, I just know that it won't be the gnome |
| 11 |
herd who do the work when the time come to fix this (resolve |
| 12 |
conflict). |

The gnome herd will re-introduce the lazy ticket, and make other herd |
| 14 |
use yet another confusing USE flag. |

Or you can rename it when it goes global so it have proper name. |

You can also ignore this and force gnome onto all users. |
