Can you describe how changing the inject function will improve portage
use - seems a real step backward from a user point of view. For an
example of the problems this type of change causes check out the many
posts on package.keywords - complicated matters for users. As well I
have two systems that work fine, and one that ignores anything in
package.mask!
Are we going down the path of complicating gentoo and reaping mandrake
like rewards (an overcomplicated, fragile management system for the
distro) by doing so?
