20 You may be using eudev (and thus don't need to worry about it), but if a
21 person blindly copies that into their make.conf and sys-fs/udev breaks,
22 they'll get to keep the pieces because they deliberately screwed
23 themselves. It's not a use case we can support. It doesn't mean
24 INSTALL_MASK is always a bad idea; it's simply meant to be used by
25 people who are fully aware of its effects.
