Labels can be discussed on-list whenever there's a chance in hell of Portage implementing any non-trivial new features. Anyway, I'm going with the second wording in the original email. It seems fairly clear that most people aren't understanding the issue, and are jumping in and offering opinions without having looked at the tree (and no, I'm not going to give examples, because that'll just degenerate into "oh, so we can change this one particular case to do $blah", whilst missing the bigger point). Of everything suggested, only the two original wordings are correct, and of those two, the second is better defined. -- Ciaran McCreesh
