That would be fine. I'm not sure how extending fetch restriction would do it, but I'm also not a portage developer. > Deferring discussion about it.. well, it scares me to be completely hones= t.=20 > It becomes another one of those "is this going to change the requirements= ?"=20 > that's always lurking.
