What do we think users are going to be saying at the end of the year
when after every sync they have to revdep-rebuild. Maybe, if we proceed
with this, we investigate what can have its la files removed and do it
all in one go. therefore ppl won't have to rebuild kde/gnome ( or any
other large and time consuming package) over and over and over and over
and over and over ....... again. Hell it would even be better to
"batch" a few conversions so that each revdep-rebuild fixes multiple
breakages in one.
Call that an experiment, do not start screaming but just try to help a bit.
I think we could have those change masked now and unmasked once we got
something sorted better.
