While working out the right way to handle dep changes in eclasses |
| 17 |
might take a little longer, I suspect that we'll have a policy for |
| 18 |
revbumping on dep changes in ebuilds and perhaps virtuals fairly soon. |

There really wasn't much loud objection when the proposal came up |
| 20 |
again last week - not nearly as much as the last time this came up. |
| 21 |
With the increasing issues with subslots I think devs are appreciating |
| 22 |
that the current state isn't really great. |
