I'm not against removing grub1, but why are the only versions of grub
in the tree betas? They don't have a proper release cycle?
Also grub2-mkconfig is disgusting. I wonder if anybody is interested
in making something better because I doubt it would be much work for
someone that knows grub well. 9

Yes, it would. But it's just a symptom of the fetching system being

One note - it may be useful to install `BASH_LOADABLES_PATH=/usr/lib/bash`
to the global env.d environment when USE=plugins, now that bash has
this feature. It doesn't enable anything by default but just informs bash that
it can look for loadables in that location.

Only true for users that have no interest in testing. Irrelevant for
anyone that needs to test for backwards compatib
The only reason I haven't been testing this for many months
system-wide is it's in the same slot as 4.3, and it still is. Is it
not possible to separate them?

Subject: [PATCH] git-r3.eclass:
This creates new associative arrays for each "live" variable if bash4 /
eapi6 is available. Mainly for user convenience in a bashrc as an
alternative to magic variable names.

Am I missing something here? I don't see how any of the tests used in
gcc-specs-* functions could possibly produce an output. The fact that this
coincidentally works in Bash shouldn't be relied upon.
