15 | I'm withdrawing this GLEP. It is clear from the discussions on |
|
|
16 | gentoo-dev that although breaking they keywords into four components |
|
|
17 | is probably a good idea, the four components are *not* independent. |
|
|
18 | Thus, the "keyword explosion" that this GLEP tries to prevent is |
|
|
19 | inevitable. The real issue, then, is how to make the keyword |
|
|
20 | explosion reasonably manageable, but that's a topic for another |
|
|
21 | GLEP. |
