This is an any-of dep, so it does not really change anything for emul-linux users. I've taken specifically this approach to relax the timeline for multilib attempt and allow testing it without the need to enforce it on anyone. > I am also not convinced this is the approach to multilib that we should be > taking, and I know there are others for who this is controversial as well. I'm afraid that so far the most negative opinions came from people directly related to the portage-multilib project. While I value their opinion, I'm afraid they are a little biased by the fact that we're working on something alternate to their project, and which may cause their work to end up mostly irrelevant. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
