Speaking only for myself, there seem to be 3 groups, with some overlap.
Group One sees the whole idea of a make.conf.local that includes the
same options as make.conf as evil. Group Two sees the current make.conf
as evil in general, and would like to split it up, eliminate it, and/or
take it out and have it shot. Group Three sympathizes with the idea of
making local changes easier to merge, but would like to develop
different/better tools to make that happen.
As is common, very little of this has to do with the original
suggestion. :)
Hope this helps,
Doug
