10 Our documentation, QA team insist that we should not depend on system
11 packages and there are good reasons to do that. But still above bug
12 clearly states different. Also if we consider perl and some other
13 packages, they also could became target to be removed... But I'm not
14 going to repeat discussion we already had recently:
15 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/54035

17 So yes, there is ambiguity and the question is valid. But since we had
18 discussion recently I don't see what else we can discuss now.
