Experience being two news items about one package. Expand this to a tree size, where the user has around 400-500 packages. If they get news about changes that will increase their experience for each one of these, they are looking at reading the New York Times of gentoo every day.

If I was a paludis user I would considder this trivial. The same information is availible a) from the package itself. b) from the changelog, and c) it still works without the change! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
