Certainly it did NOT say that. The news item said portage would try, and indeed it did try. You can criticize the resulting failure without claiming the news item was untruthful.

Can you please tone down your complaints? Talking about how it has been "forced" is both overly dramatic, and pointlessly dramatic. Nothing has been forced. The defaults switched, but individuals are perfectly capable of delaying the switch and indeed the news item gives instructions for the event that you wish to delay it. Please criticize the defaults, without accusations of "force". -- Eli Schwartz
