It wont block paludis from working and if you change it, so that it does you have caused the problem yourself because config file changes should not be abrupt, but it is good to have a "buffer" version which sends warnings to the user if he didnt fix his config. I bet there are other users around, who think a config file format change that doesnt break anything but produce warnings in the first place is non-critical. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
