I read all those bugs and comments, especially this one: |
| 18 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144333#c6 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and it seems that we have a trade-off here - put up with the occasional |
| 21 |
redundant remerge, or put up with the mostly constant nuisance of yet |
| 22 |
another option to emerge and the decision process that goes with it - |
| 23 |
to use or not to use this new option. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
On balance, maybe the former is the route of least pain |
