You're missing some context. In October of last year, a QA team member broke dependency resolution on a lot of systems by making the same sort of change that this patch proposes: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/64c42804eb4cf4bc7d1161a2e9222c6a Last month, someone brought up that example and named the QA team as partly responsible for the --changed-deps requirement, which goes against the PMS and a council decision: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/dcebabbd6f13aed6622424d439f7becc Shortly thereafter, another QA member opened a pull request that would retroactively make what the first QA member did OK: https://github.com/gentoo/devmanual/pull/177 And now, we are having a third QA team member in charge of approving that change to the devmanual, which will later be cited as "policy." Your problem is that you're not a member of the right gang.
