You should take the context into consideration when trying to understand Kito's comment, which was in reply to my post about Gentoo/Darwin. In that light, he is absolutely right, collision-protect is counter-productive. In the context of Gentoo/OS X, I think everyone agrees that prefixed installs would be preferable to collision-protect. If you install Gentoo/OS X, you will find collision-protect is used by the default profile. You concerns seem to be aimed at the progressive profile that some users prefer. It is your choice. -f -- [email protected] mailing list
