unneeded is the correct choice of words. That 'special feature that only |
| 44 |
paludis - and unoffical packet manager developed by a dev team which has a |
| 45 |
very high 'forcefully retired' content - has' was not needed - as shown by |
| 46 |
kdesvn-portage. |

no, it was just made by vivid paludis fans. Hey, lets make an overlay a lot of |
| 53 |
user want - and make it paludis only. That way we can push paludis! |

| 58 |
which one? Which features 'benefit both users and developers' and are sooo |
| 59 |
important that the kde overlay had to be paludis only? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Name them please. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Oh, does paludis support and equivalent to 'keep-going' or '--ignore-failures' |
| 64 |
or are people who wants this extremly usefull features still attacked and |
| 65 |
insulted? |
