Description
In order to increase acceptance by Gentoo Wranglers It would be great if paludis refers to: (or similar paludis oriented file?) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap4_sect2 When a blocker is found.
It is better not to do it as hook, since some user do not know that much and file Bugs like this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264406

Maybe you are right. I thought adding a link could help people to go to the right places and not to the wrong ones. I myself keep forgetting about Gentoo Documentation system. Which is not a decent place if you do not understand what you are looking for. I thought if paludis points peeps to the place it would help... :(

Users who file bugs like that are going to do dumb things no matter what we do. Trying to design software to their level is futile, and just prolongs everyone's agony.
