Requiring policykit, let alone networkmanager and dbus as a default is |
12 |
not something I'd personally agree with as a sane choice. If you're |
13 |
trying to build *just* a desktop distro, sure, it's sane. We're not |

Regarding systemd, someone needs to do some pretty serious prototyping |
17 |
of it before it's even an option- on paper it looks rather promising. |

Paper != reality. With respect to systemd's upstream, someone has to |
19 |
do the legwork of proving it matches its hype- specifically that it is |
20 |
a good fit for gentoo. |
