As evidenced by the removal of libressl and eudev, this logic is
fallacious and wrong and not the way Gentoo is developed.
Both removals definitely not still being contested and debated.
Gentoo does indeed discuss the things that people want, and try to
determine whether they are useful to users, whether they are a placebo,
and whether they are maintainable or have an adverse effect either on
users or on the effort to maintain a consistent tree.
So circling back around to the start of the thread:
pkgcheck complains about each new version of dev-lisp/sbcl:
It is the allegation of the QA team that the option is a lie, it
contains no purpose or value and doesn't contribute to use choice, and
pkgcheck is reporting the QA team's allegation.
If you wish to convince the QA team otherwise, be my guest... but I
would personally encourage you to come up with a better argument than
"the option makes me feel better about myself, I don't care what you
have to say, just leave my options alone goshdarnit; I have the right
to
be stupid".
Because I don't think you're likely to convince anyone like that.
Sorry.
Maybe support as much choice as possible, and not act like you know what
users want better that the users themselves.
