That was my _very_ first time to ever speak in #paludis. |

I did read the paludis FAQ before speak in #paludis. |
10 |
But basically the FAQ says nothing about why the option is not implemented other |
11 |
than some vague argument like "it could be abused". |
12 |
So I went there to try to get an answer. And... you all know what followed. |

Actually I still don't think --resume --skipfirst can do big harm to my system. |

Vaeth's analysis is very good. IMO, that's by far the most pertinent explanation |
18 |
to this problem. But that still can't happen in a perfect world, because |

supposedly if a feature is required but can't be supported due to lack of a |
20 |
specific (version) library, ./configure should fail early and loudly. |
