When combined with the other patches we use, you basically end up with 3 totally separate sets of patches (due to the human rediff work needed) for the same original source. By applying your argument to kernels, we could have USE=kernel-mm USE=kernel-ac etc. and I'm sure that really wouldn't go down well. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
