I would be interested in knowing who the author of this joke is.
From my perspective, any discussion of deleting data is not only humorless,
but it raises a concern about the integrity of the repositories. A little
message like that could just as easily be a hacker's notice as a joke.

To the author: If it was a joke, please refrain from similar humor in the future.

To the sulfur coders: Would you kindly formally acknowledge that this code is not hacked.

I seriously debated whether I needed to take my system down and replace it with
another distribution last night. Funny.

Is this the same kind of humor which gives me, instead of a proper error message, a hint to read the output of "equo --help"? :roll:

One of the iterations of this "error-messages" is that I was hopeless. Well, owner of a great heart who can laugh about something like this ... :|

It seems that some users here cannot take jokes lightly. Maybe there should be a slightly more serious version of Sabayon (with other changes like slightly delayed packages and no jokes) that can be used in a formal setting.
