Description P Nienaber 2006-04-10 22:39:09 UTC

There is already a bug open on this (129119).

I am opening another one because I cannot reopen that one, and I consider this to be worthy of a CRI bug.

Various documents on gentoo.org still state that qmerge DOES NOT DO THIS, so having something that isn't supposed to delete something delete that something is *BAD*, so please fix it, and give people adequate warning before you go and break things, and *MAKE* *DAMN* *SURE* that all non-deprecated docs reflect the change.

I just lost several hours' work to this mess.
