Lay out your reasons please; the meaning doesn't differ (same version due to implicit 0 after all), and as I've pointed out an extreme minority are affected. Basically, looking to lock it down from a consistancy standpoint- in light of that, and that 15 ebuilds are affected out of ~24242, it's not seeming like it's losing much. ~harring
