I agree with the general sentiment, but ... in a few cases there's no
reasonable alternative.
Example: games-board/cgoban2. I tried very hard to stay with the old,
crufty Xlib based (so java free) predecessor cgoban which I used on
Debian, but to make it usable at all its source needs to be patched, and
in a Catch-22 the ebuild doesn't use EAPI 5 so patching is hacky in the
extreme.
