I agree with the safe bit, but that "don't need to change them" phrase is=
=20
self-evidently false, or Gentoo wouldn't have needed to make the
--as-needed change either. The change didn't magically happen the moment=
=20
the need appeared.
(Then again, I never believed that equally self-evidently false "no user=20
serviceable parts inside" sticker, either. When it's a few screws and a=20
50 cent fuse, and I'm the user without a microwave as a result...)
