I have things I deprecated over two years ago still being used by a dozen ebuilds bumped within the la= st three months. You should be familiar with this behaviour wrt. built_with_use. So, when I'm making changes I still have to maintain the deprecated stuff. If I really want to get rid of it, then I have to break it. Replace the whole thing with a eerror like any of our deprecated eclasses. At that point, I would rather just remove the function or eclass than curate a muse= um of dead interfaces. But I suppose that's a personal quirk -- I hate having old unused code around. --=20 fonts, by design, by neglect gcc-porting, for a fact or just for effect wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662 --Sig_/1exQu5SItaNL_TrD=hD3hON Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkuRZi8ACgkQiqiDRvmkBmJ85wCgox5/viIF3shO1xVX0wrAuTAV VqsAoMSkgjU+e/CheSB3FKcsZys07+ke =iHZ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/1exQu5SItaNL_TrD=hD3hON--
