But still above bug clearly states different. Also if we consider perl and some other packages, they also could became target to be removed... But I'm not going to repeat discussion we already had recently: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/54035 So yes, there is ambiguity and the question is valid. But since we had discussion recently I don't see what else we can discuss now. --=20 Peter.
