Or we/gentoo could just support it and stop breaking the end user.
uh, the point was, what will happen to all those apps for users who switched to the -new- standard by using make.conf, who will therefore have no make.profile dir, so programs looking for that dir will fail. We have to provide some sort of compatibilty for people who use the new standard, or you will be seeing dozens of bug reports on all the numerous portage based programs which are still dependant on the old standard. I guess of course you could do a bulk hard masking of portage utilizing this feature untill all programs depending on this feature are fixed, but that would be not very nice to maintain I believe. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
