What's the gain? Does it justify breaking every tool dealing with |
| 24 |
metadata.xml out there? Are you going to fix package managers, |
| 25 |
gentoolkit, gentoopm, packages.gentoo.org (in both versions), |
| 26 |
willikins, Funtoo scripts...? Or is this going to be another smart move |
| 27 |
which forces others to do extra work just because someone didn't like |
| 28 |
the name? |
