Would it not be a better solution to have this information documented |
| 8 |
"properly" under Upgrade Guides or Gentoo System Documentation and then have |
| 9 |
this news item linked to it. |

What i'm concerned about is that this is not really a news item. From what I |
| 12 |
understand this issue could be with us for a rather long time (years even) |
| 13 |
so... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
How is this news item going to help ppl in a month from now (till the issue is |
| 16 |
solved in its entirety). |
| 17 |
Can we reasonably expect a new user to be aware of this. Do we expect users |
| 18 |
to read old ( and this could potentially become very old) news items. |

This is potentually a different situation from someone updating dbus (for |
| 21 |
example) from <y.y.y to >=y.y.y and having a once off (fire and forget) |
| 22 |
migration task. It is for this reason that I think this should be documented. |
