I agree.
Also, this issue has arisen from a change in current policy. Even if
Portage and repoman now allow the use of multiple suffixes, the
devmanual still states that's illegal - so it's illegal in current policy.
Instead of people arguing about a decision to uphold the current policy,
I think they should be asking that we have a discussion about the
current policy and propose alternatives, like is being done on the bug,
and in the end submit it to the council for a voting.
