That works for me. I guess my main concern is that when we change functionality that people depend on in our most core of packages, we need to make damn sure people are aware of any changes. Might I suggest you start writing up an article now for when this thing eventually goes for stabilization. I'd like something a few pages long, since I would post it on the front page *and* the GWN (and announce, and dev-announce, and user... and...) to make sure we catch as many people as we possibly can as a change like this can either be a great triumph for Gentoo or a complete an utter failure, putting egg on our faces for months or possibly even years to come. We do a good enough job of making ourselves look bad. This is a case where we can be surer things will go smoothly, it will just take some cooperation and work. Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
