The holdup for GLEP 42 is that you're trying to demand that it supports
some arbitrary future extension to Portage without specifying how that
extension will work.
I get it. The Portage team asks you to extend your spec, so you turn it around
and ask them to extend their spec. Ha ha ha. Funny game. :)
Brian agreed with you that the extended dep syntax will be necessary at some point in the
future. I also agree. So, knowing that glep 42 doesn't require extended depset syntax,
can we stop playing this game and just settle on something like newsdir="$(portageq
newsdir gentoo)"?
