I don't really see why anyone that is marking an ebuild stable needs to have |
| 15 |
a fatal error because an older version of that package isn't ported yet. We |
| 16 |
are perfectly capable of mentioning this on the bug so the maintainer can fix |
| 17 |
it later :) A flag to ignore it will make me, and probably other archs, happy |
| 18 |
though. |
