I conclude that the mechanism indeed 'works as intended' on the above basis, but I believe there is some messaging improvements to be made, as I can see= how "silence this message" could be taken to mean "not see any message about th= is EoL condition *at all*", rather than "just remove the messaging about being able to use the ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM variable" I would propose a simple change such as: - No support will be provided if you *silence this message* by defining ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM. + No support will be provided if you *override this error* by defining ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM in /etc/make.conf --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
