xorg-x11 RDEPEND changes without revisions

When you ignore the devmanual and the pkgcheck warning and the 10+
threads I've started about the issue, and make changes like...

I have too many other things to do to waste time reverse-engineering
these fuck-ups. Get it together.

I'm just curious if you refer to commit d8c442ba8 - b/c that was made by someone at Wed Oct 16 19:41:02 2019 +0000 and I do wonder why nobody else run into that issue since that time?

The problem doesn't surface until x11-apps/mkfontdir was removed in
April 2020. I assume Michael hasn't rebuilt xorg-x11 since before
then.

Also, if you run emege --changed-deps, that works around the issue.

Beats me. I run a stable system, so probably it just needed the right
combination of packages to stabilize. Or maybe it was the change in
xorg-2.eclass that triggered it. Or maybe no one else has noticed that
there's a useless package on his system (that will be stranded until all
of the affected packages get upgrades/revisions) and tried to remove it.
Or maybe everyone has set USE="-gentoo-dev" for portage to avoid this
perpetual clown show. Or...

what difference does it make? It already took me 100x longer to figure
out what went wrong than it would have taken to make the revisions in
the first place. I don't want to waste any more. I'm still tracking down
more packages that need to be rebuilt by hand because RDEPEND was
changed in an eclass too.

After PAM virtual removal and a bunch of similar large-scale
changes done by QA members I assume it's a new norm and
should be documented as such.

I ended up enabling --changed-deps by default on my systems
to make them upgradeable.

You could also try to understand the difference between the two,
and the purpose in not causing unnecessary rebuilds just to make it
possible to depclean a zero-byte package. But I suppose being sarcastic
is the new norm and should be documented as such.

My suspicion is that barely anybody actually uses that package. No desktop
user needs it, nothing depends on it, and AFAIR it pulls in lots of packages
that aren't necessary, and those that are get pulled in as dependencies
elsewhere. I stopped installing the xorg-x11 meta-package sometime in 2009, I
think following the X.org modularization, which was shortly before that IIRC.

You're fucking welcome for all the X11 maintenance.

I am not sarcastic if it was your implication.
