I want to understand all the reasoning behind this stuff. Please explain the reason that library Y changing means that dependent port X should be deprecated and removed, regardless of whether it no longer builds and/or works. Note that I'm working on the assumption that your assertion it should be deprecated and removed does not rely on it no longer building and/or working because of the way you mentioned no longering building and/or working as a parenthetical addendum rather than a condition of deprecation and removal. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --24zk1gE8NUlDmwG9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk5rjaAACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUGkgCgjqQlkAAZR8MbPHaPeAoBP0Ju bQoAnRPYCHM3ULT1xj4H64zr1L7yZPAH =hQbM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --24zk1gE8NUlDmwG9--
