Nope, because the point of the die is for the developer to catch it during testing. Before commit to tree, so the user never has a chance to experience it. > it's inappropriate for a > user to have spent significant time compiling a package only to have it fail > because TODO does not exist. Correct, and that would only occur if a dev was slacking :) Otherwise stuff like missing TODO's or other docs get easily omitted, and ignored. Not the most professional type of error output. So the || dies are more like a fail safe for devs to catch minor stuff like missing docs or etc. QA stuff :) -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
