As vapier indicates he's the whole reason this ever became a problem. He was the one who started arbitrarily ordering keywords around creating a keywords mess for people who did depend on order to perform tasks. I guess the lesson here is if you just do things 'your way' (wr/l)ong enough, people pick it up and it spreads. The point is that with his reordering implicit information was lost for no particular purpose. There was no added value in ordering keywords, there's was no reason whatsoever to make the ordering inconsistent within packages, it was an utterly pointless exercise in creating more traffic on the servers. - foser --=-+f7rH/MpS4hbvNuHpaOC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCqEHn8WG+0iaGxDMRAu3GAJ48Eo4UdXq+64U7CVzoPCJUhZF5bgCglU68 GFCMR72W/GLseDgt2ooPljE= =2IFi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+f7rH/MpS4hbvNuHpaOC-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
