No one answered my question asked in Message-ID:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> what paludis actually does
in case it encounters a config file using the old syntax so far, but
as long it doesn't break the system, it doesn't need a news item.
GLEP 42 talks about critical, really important news, not just useful
ones.
Imho the whole GLEP process is being abused to define some scenario to
get the support for news, and then push it through for stuff way
outside the boundaries defined in the GLEP.
