Well, I'm starting to lose it here as well. Pointless assumption based |
| 9 |
jabbering that I have to take for serious discussion. I'm wasted. |

Yeah 2 people at the start, it seems at least one by now got his senses |
| 11 |
together and sees the point. |

Have you tried it ? Apparently you didn't. |

I don't think I used that as an argument not to do it. I wouldn't use it |
| 26 |
as the only or main reason ever. |

What a load of uninformed crap. The added deps are not there for |
| 33 |
prettyness sake, as we've said from the start it is a usability issue. |
| 34 |
And the deps determined by the upstream authors _are_ optional if you |
| 35 |
could care enough to read the source. But hey we at least we can scrap 2 |
| 36 |
USE flags now, tiff and jpeg are non-optional because you say so. That |
| 37 |
makes room for some silly new USE flag for the sake of 'choice'. |

Hmm as a dev you wouldn't ever use readme's but just check the source |
| 42 |
for deps : readme's/specs/etc. tend not to be accurate & updated. See, |
| 43 |
this readme here you use to prove your point is dated 2002. Go figure. |

Anyway, I'm about done here. I can't take this thread serious in any way |
| 46 |
anymore. |
