I'm answering this on the list here for completeness only. I feel like a question here calls for a response. This started with this thread [1], where I proposed a patch to the systemd eclass. That patch was rejected as you can see with no real explanation from mgorny. This lead to private discussions with him which did not go well. I have all of those emails still, so I will go back and see if I can find where he gave me the explanation he is claiming here, but I honestly do not remember any such explanation coming from him until now. My original patch has been accepted now, so that should take care of that part of the situation. Mgorny, thanks for working with me. :-) William [1] http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/dev/269385?page=last
