It's been in there for what seems like forever. I just checked |
| 26 |
/var/log/portage/elog on the PC hooked up to my TV set. I installed |
| 27 |
Gentoo on it June 22nd, 2010. The message was in there back then. |

That's over 3 years!!! Enough already. I go through the messages in |
| 29 |
/var/portage/elog after every update. It's annoying to have that same |
| 30 |
old message polluting the logs. |
