Every list has their own particular preference to things. Here on
gentoo-user, since the very beginning, list users have preferred to not
use pastebin services - they go away and the real information is forever
lost.

There's never a good reason for use needing an entire build log if it's
big, it's fine to find the first error in the log and send from there to
the end. Users quickly discover how to find the first error.
