And will break the system. Old profile entries used to break eclass-manpages and latex-base (due to double renaming) Random example: Let's loot at why 2Q-2005 was changed in 2010: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D351760 Thus the reason for removal is simple: old entries are potentially buggy as nobody verifies them. --=20 Sergei --Sig_/mauoTlw1vSEflCJd3OrLoOE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlDFi4gACgkQcaHudmEf86psxACeJFB6jgQrpQvwHE3/vcgJULd4 iwYAoIbKUjTRR/3c+0X2n2LReD4B3ssO =tM/l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/mauoTlw1vSEflCJd3OrLoOE--
