Don't ask me why. I have things I deprecated over two years ago still being used by a dozen ebuilds bumped within the last three months. You should be familiar with this behaviour wrt. built_with_use. So, when I'm making changes I still have to maintain the deprecated stuff. If I really want to get rid of it, then I have to break it. Replace the whole thing with a eerror like any of our deprecated eclasses. At that point, I would rather just remove the function or eclass than curate a museum of dead interfaces. But I suppose that's a personal quirk -- I hate having old unused code around. -- fonts, by design, by neglect gcc-porting, for a fact or just for effect wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
