And we're back to the usual Gentoo argument of 'it was like this for
N years'.  So FYI, something 'being there for ~15 years' doesn't make it
right.  It only means that:

a. Gentoo devs were wrong 15 years ago.

b. Gentoo devs are still wrong today.

c. Gentoo devs can't manage to make such a simple change because they're
too concerned about hurting somebody's feelings about a path.
