I agree absolutely. I was a bit disappointed when it happened to make.conf; |
15 |
because I really liked, for example, the list of allowed -march settings. |

And I think that you will scare users (especially the genkernel type) if you |
17 |
let them write their fstab completely by hand. |

Of course, they wouldn't really need to write it by themselves, because they'd |

have some .example files. But I strongly dislike the idea of putting them |
21 |
inside /etc. |
