The old user.eclass allowed using /home, and we have packages using /home. One of them is spamd, and I've beaten to death the reasons why I think that's the best choice. I would rather not move it somewhere *less* appropriate on principle. I would also like to not break running mail systems the second the acct-user package is emerged. What are the options? * Upgrade to GLEP81 anyway and ignore the warning (my interim plan). * Hack the acct-user ebuild so that it doesn't trigger the warning, by bypassing $D. * Leave it on user.eclass. * ???
