Otherwise we'll end up with ebuilds full of workarounds without even documentation on why the workaround is applied! With workarounds I mean, as examples: =2D FEATURES=3Dtest failures; =2D broken parallel make that requires -j1; =2D flags filtering, included -Wl,--no-as-needed appending This is important because: a) we want test to work or get fixed upstream; b) we want users to get parallel build if they request parallel build; c) we want --as-needed to be used, not ignored. If the bug is open and comes out on searches and all the rest, then we have higher chances that someone might _fix_ it, without having to look to see if there actually is one...
