Well, my point is that our GLSAs and the associated code already handles st= uff=20 very similar to the `emerge --news` idea, namely: a) displaying info only for users having affected package b) support for arch-specific issues c) version-specific messages d) instructions on how to make a workaround and how to fix the problem=20 permanently So the code is here, as well as existing procedures to make new announcemen= ts,=20 to list them on the website, forums etc. The only disadvantage I'm aware of is that Portage would have to include XM= L=20 parser, but as Brian said, most of Portage installations already do (sorry,= =20 I'm not familiar neither with stages nor with Portage, feel free to correct= =20 me).
