I'd like to get the Council's opinion on having FEATURES=preserve-libs |
| 2 |
enabled by default in stable portage. About 6 months ago I mentioned on |
| 3 |
my blog [1] that I might consider enabling it by default after |
| 4 |
slot-operators and sub-slots became widely adopted. We seem to be |
| 5 |
reaching a satisfactory level of adoption now. |

I know that this feature has been questioned by some, especially by |
| 8 |
people involved with Paludis (which doesn't implement preserve-libs). I |
| 9 |
think that the main compliant is that preserve-libs doesn't preserve any |
| 10 |
non-library dependencies (such as configuration files) that a library |
| 11 |
may depend on. |
