17 No, I realise full well that some GnomeOS developers would like us to
18 think that HAL, D-BUS, network-manager, udev-extras etc are part of the
19 system, and are sloppily writing code that makes that assumption.
20 However, the question ultimately under discussion is whether Gentoo is
21 to be a Linux distribution or a GnomeOS distribution.
