Remember that it is easy
to say here that users don't read what's on their consoles as well, as
in post emerge messages etc. So make sure you deal with it upfront, why
you think now it *will* work.
"Emerge messages" are usually hidden by compilation output, so this argument
doesn't apply here, IMHO. Or am I missing your point here?
You give an example here of why console messages aren't read. But if
that is your rationale here, I would like to see it stated in the GLEP
why it *will* work there. On the previous discussion there was an
example of a console message not being read fully/properly. This will
happen to more people. What I was asking for is that such situation is
either outlawed (ie. "People should just read, if they don't then it's
not my problem") or recognised (ie. "It is known that people do not
read, hence we propose to use a text-to-speech module and play the
produced audio file, so the user can listen to the imporant message" --
idiotic example of course).
Just to make things clear and properly defined.
