I think a very brief bit of rationale about why would be helpful so we don't have to keep explaining it. Just something like: "This change has been made to significantly ease maintenance of tools split out from systemd, like udev, systemd-tmpfiles, and systemd-boot, as one ebuild (with USE flags) is used for each of the components." Would emphasise that it's specifically for non-systemd installations too. > + > +When upgrading to sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250, > +sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] will be pulled in as a dependency. > + > +When upgrading to sys-boot/systemd-boot-250, sys-apps/systemd-utils[boot] > will > +be pulled in as a dependency. > + > +When upgrading to sys-fs/udev-250, sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] will be > pulled > +in as a depenendecy. > + dependency > +At a later date, sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles, sys-boot/systemd-boot, and > +sys-fs/udev will be masked for removal once a suitable version of > +sys-apps/systemd-utils has been marked stable and sufficient time has been > +provided for users to migrate. > + > +Possible problems when upgrading: > + > +1.
