I could claim the "design choice" thing for anything as well. Actually blender upstream does that for the brokenness of their build system. Now what? I just stop fixing it? Maybe, but then I will definitely not stabilize it. We are not just talking about random ebuild features here that have been dropped. It's a MAJOR feature. And it _matters_ for gentoo. So it IS a _regression_. You see, I am not criticising the work of the gnome team, only the stabilization matter. I personally don't care about gnome, but about our policy to a certain extend. And I feel our policy is being violated here. Not because you ignore it, but because you disagree. But none of your arguments make any logical sense to me why this regression should be treated differently. "Upstream does..." is _never_ a reason to say a regression is a feature. It is a reason to not support it in stable arch or even not at all, depending on the case.
