It is exactly what is bad: nobody expects any troubles where |
| 13 |
they definitely should be! |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Anyway, it is a good idea to write a news on changing python_targets |
| 16 |
and major version of gcc, even if no developper expects any troubles, |
| 17 |
because we already know their predictive (dis)ability. :) |

Yes. |

I did not. Moreover, currently I have no single unstable package |
| 31 |
installed on my system. |

It is sad to hear. Actually, I don't want to change the Linux distro. |
| 45 |
A bit more "due diligence" from Gentoo devs will be enough. :) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
May be, adding some additional "almost stable" level between |
| 48 |
"stable" and "unstable" one to make "stable" stable indeed? |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
In any case, if I will leave Gentoo, it will be in favour of some BSD, |
| 51 |
not a Linux disro. |
