I still stand by what I said there: | Exceptions are packages that take a long time to build, where you may | want to use common sense and weigh the negative impact of not doing a | revbump against build time on users' systems (and in those cases, it | can sometimes be avoided, e.g., by delaying the change until the next | version bump). Also I don't see how this would be a contradiction. In your case it was a revbump of a single ebuild with negligible build time. Here, we're talking about removal of a virtual, which may require a rebuild of many packages on users' systems if everything was revbumped. Ulrich
