downsides: updating of array causes ugly cascading of changes throughout the |
| 18 |
entire ebuild instead of one or two lines. maintaining the info indirectly |
| 19 |
with numbers makes reading ebuilds harder to understand and harder to maintain |
| 20 |
(adding/dropping files). |

such changes should be proposed on the gentoo-dev mailing list anyways ... |
| 23 |
you'll get a lot more feedback as to why this is more "con" than "pro". |
