I don't say that they quit altogether. Just that they may leave that |
| 10 |
particular ebuild in portage alone (and continue in an overlay as was |
| 11 |
suggested) because they don't want to have anything to do with the changes |
| 12 |
that were forced upon them. |

So until someone else steps up, users will have the great experience of a |
| 19 |
unified ebuild that nobody takes care of. |

I'll take the reasoning with the maintainer approach (without threatening to |
| 22 |
apply anyway if you arguments fail to convince him) over this insanity any day. |
