If this was an important package it being a bit buggy would be a good reason to not include it, but it is basically a novelty item, and if TaD will maintain it, why not? Gentoo is about choice, and if a user chooses to run buggy themes that might cause an app or two to capsize, who are we to stop them? --Todd -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
