Having some people talk about things on a chat, forum, blog, ... might have a short lived effect now with an occasional spike in the future; but, a news item reaches a much wider public for a much longer item. Let's say someone upgrades his system in some weeks / months from now, that person will be thankful that a news item was written about this; instead of having this be part of the already though job of updating. Of course, there is a thing like "too much handholding" but I think that's not the case here as the upower case pops up in a lot of places; one does not have to forget that there is also "too little handholding". If it weren't for genkernel or a kernel seed to help me start out with a booting system, I perhaps might have never started using Gentoo; I've afterwards managed to change my config over time to look nowhere near the original, but at least it makes me happy to have experienced the handholding to bring me where I am today. These "little things" matter. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
