26 Because ebuild devs are the ones doing the maintainance of the
27 {black,white}lists, and they are the ones who have to futz with them
28 whenever they want to do funny things. It's their work to keep things
29 running smoothly, not ours. Who wants to foist work on people who
30 aren't willing to do it? The lists will just get old and crappy and the
31 whole system would be useless.
