I'd say that's a good thing, it saved having to change every ebuild depending on qt to depend on || (qt qt-meta) and is the same way the transition to split XOrg packages was handled. Te -meta addition to the KDE package names was a necessary kludge, because the split builds lived alongside the monolithic variants. -- Neil Bothwick Committee (noun): A group of people spending hours taking minutes
