Just few I can think of right now: You can set the variable in the ebuilds global scope somewhere on top easily. You can actually do more magic later based on what content user puts to the variable if we want to (all msgs, important ones only, ...) You actually allow user to enforce this behaviour in make conf for all packages if he desires to do so. Also I never seen this being handled by touching files in any other eclasses :-) Tom
