What is a probability that user running *stable* branch would bork his box by upgrades? Aren't those running ~ARCH expected to make backups? Is it such a problem to reboot their *testing* boxes from some CD and restore backups from such environment? (I know about special cases like machines w/o CD-ROM/netboot, but I think their owners are skilled enough to find other solution which better suits their needs.) Why bother with such a feature which won't be used by most of people, instead of doing something "more useful"? Just my 2 cents, though. -jkt -- cd /local/pub && more beer > /dev/mouth --------------enigE7FD0DBDDE429E747EBE0A59 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCiIH7amXfqERyJRcRAtdtAJ4lureRhFwY0BrkfM8Lhs8IiZI0HACeOaol ReqjsOMlCorllMHZlicRghI= =YqW7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE7FD0DBDDE429E747EBE0A59-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
