If it is so stable and you have it on 5 machines then why are you
wanting to install it again?

I don't.  I just don't want messages about things being installed for
which there is no atom, or whatever the message is.

(And it's not that stable - it's that no one watches TV anymore. If
Myth quits then the WAF==0.0 and I'm in deep stuff!)


Actually 0.19 has quite a lot of improvements.

Yes, and I hope to get it all upgraded when my family goes away for a
couple of weeks in July. Until then I just don't like being pushed
around! ;-)

More importantly (to me) is that when looking at a distro like this
what are the issues with  leaving an older revision in portage? I
don't see what the maintainance issues are. It's been a working ebuild
for a long time. Why remove it. Just leave it there. I suppose files
could move and then the ebuild would need an update but other than
that how much work is being saved for one person vs. a decision by
that one person to force lots of people to upgrade? (All
rhetorical....)
