Well, we've discussed what it could break which isn't really much. And the confusion will be rather less than the current multilib model. Did you ever try to explain to an non-multilib expert (but otherwise skilled person) how multilib and elf coloring works?

I just want to see this multilib breakage go away. But I don't think that will happen (e.g. replacing all the multilib stuff with plain and simple chroots) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
