And many things which possibly could help us, simply don't work on Gentoo. Sometimes because of PMS stupidity, sometimes because we feel like ugly hacks done by users should simply work. We already give a lot of thought and care to handle the moves but we still miss some essential tool which could help us handle them better. Most importantly, which would allow us to avoid forcing users to have half-moved system. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
