Well, yes - but what is problematic? Certain parties keep vaguely
alluding to past actions, which is what I am inquiring about.

I don't like being here either, but after using Gentoo for a while
arbitrary actions taken by developers have broken my system, and poor
commit discipline has in cases made it very hard to figure out what
was changed and why.
This is an outgrowth of those things. If arbitrary choices are made
here and now arbitrary choices will keep being made elsewhere in the
future.
For some reason a lot of people seem to think my questions are
annoying. They're not supposed to be annoying. If a decision is
happening with purpose, then spending 30s to type out that purpose
should not be annoying.

See reply to first paragraph; I mean specific events that make the OP
feel this is necessary.
