Well what about the consumers that have been built already? :) Now, if all consumers could be rebuilt as part of the build of the library (EAPI discussion about reverse dependencies) then I think it's a very reasonable assumption. That would hopefully not be required for very many libraries in the world, but if upstream is broken enough then I think it would be a good thing to promote awareness of that fact among users. I guess that they just don't know how broken it is. //Peter
