I agree with this. I would however also like to ask QA to allow exceptions =

don't think it is a problem if those issues have LATER bugs on them blockin=

on some feature request bug. I can even agree with it that a feature reques=

bug must be written for such a hack to be allowed.
With respect to webapp-config. I know it's ugly, I know it does perform job=
s=20
that should be performed by portage. Portage however doesn't, and=20
webapp-config does provide valuable features for many users. As such, as lo=

as portage does not offer the features that webapp-config provides, I am of=

the opinion that the webapp.eclass should be allowed to use "minimal" hacks=
=20
to provide the webapp features. QA's role in this case is to ensure that no=

hacks are added, and to signal it when the hacks break.
