LINDE, J.,
concurring.
As I understand it, this case does not involve the issue of an implied warranty of fitness for use in the builder’s sale or long-term lease of a building when the building itself proves unfit by virtue of a defect in the site on which it is built. Such a case would lie somewhere between Yepsen v. Burgess, 269 Or 635, 525 P2d 1019 (1974), and Cook v. Salishan Properties, 279 Or 333, 569 P2d 1033 (1977). Its decision can be reserved until the issue is squarely presented.
On that understanding, I concur in the present decision.
Lent, J., joins in this opinion.
