9 As I already replied to Mr Justin R Findlay's email "ELOG" is something
10 new to me. I have to check it out. Thank you for pointing this out.

26 Well, I can't imagine that gentoo maintainers have the opportunity to
27 check all the possible combinations of flags and system setting before
28 they release an ebuild. It is of course better that they prefer to use
29 the "safe way".
30 I thing an einfo message is the least thing they could give us, though I
31 prefer to have the choice to try the aggressive setting and if they
32 don't work for me to revert to the recommended flags.
