This is one of the most unprofessional aspects of gentoo/linux-in-general.  No
one seems to have heard of the principal:  if it ain't broke, don't f*ck with
it.  At the very minimum, a change like the one mentioned in this topic, should
be widely advertised ("This change may break existing scripts!!!); even better,
why make this change to begin with?

Most developers do a damn good job (at zippo pay rates), but this type of
behavior is inexcusable.
