I filed a few bugs for this but have not gotten a lot of response, or the suggestion to talk to upstream. Obviously the latter is always a good option, but I'm wondering what the intend behind this QA notice is. My view is that if this is a QA notice then, if a package doesn't emerge because of it, it is a Gentoo QA bug and package maintainers should be responsible for fixing it.=20 If the notice is only informational, then the emerge process should not be stopped because of it (and this would mean that it is nice to fix these issues but not mandatory).
