I think you misunderstand the entire issue. What's wrong with a more detailed
description as an addition to the one we already have in use.desc?
you would still have thousands of descriptions, a lot of them redundand, as a
big pile. There would be NO advantage doing this. Instead of a short
explanation, you would get tons of useless text...
There would be an advantage, I just doubt it would be worth the effort because
in most cases reading the ebuild will give you a detailed idea about what it
does. There are exceptions though, as Duncan pointed out.
Are you insane?
Are you rude?
yes, maybe?
Yes, definitively. You know, you could actually said 'sorry', but that would
probably be "insane", right?
