Amen. The notion that a particular USE flag combination is 'wrong' for a |
13 |
package is nonsensical. The notion that a user is culpable for QA issues |
14 |
that are solely the preserve of the maintainer even the more so. Any |
15 |
such issues should either be fixed or the options afforded to the user |
16 |
redacted if the maintainer is unwilling or incapable of supporting them. |

Scolding those users who have the audacity to configure Gentoo to serve |
18 |
their requirements is a distraction, to put it politely. |
