> Maybe the best solution is to drop the non-prefixed versions of 'world' > and 'system' completely .... Now that's an idea. It /would/ avoid the confusion, since the new concept would come with a new name, without the legacy meaning associated with it to confuse people. What I'd really prefer would be a "legacy" message much like what portage is currently spitting out for the output module (that I see every time I run esearch, or the old earch) if people use world, telling them to use @system and @world instead... for 2.2 at least. Do the same for system but of course @system is a direct parallel there. Then for 2.3 or whatever, remove both world and system legacies and force the @ versions. However, as I believe I said earlier in the thread, I'm quite aware I'm not the one implementing it, so whatever you go with I'll happily use, regardless of whether it's what I would have thought best, or not. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
