New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/26411#issuecomment-748730326 Comment: I don't want this to be a hill for me to die on; I can definitely build packages myself with those removals reverted. I should note that it *will* be a breaking change for those users who rely on said patches, though not a major one. Portaudio having sndio also enables any application that uses it to talk to sndio, so I'd say it's a important package for the purpose of sndio support. Anyway, this is the last I will touch the subject.
