It's certainly more news rather than a long-term useful document,=20 because at some point the change will happen, and then things are just=20 the way they are. --=20 Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Council Member / Sr. Developer Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.com --qlTNgmc+xy1dBmNv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk7ytfEACgkQXVaO67S1rtvhmgCgo2/5brv8FCYGDJTaIsmr4WuO 9kMAoI4rAIYFwBYfeWUAXPA4wCxQG7DM =aoIq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qlTNgmc+xy1dBmNv--
