I'd find that exactly right, here. |

However, it could be argued that the various boilerplate "handholding" |
| 10 |
we're already doing has set the precedent. That's actually where I got |
| 11 |
the idea, after all. But I'm not going to argue it. I'd be more |
| 12 |
inclined to argue that we're already over the line in some places, and |
| 13 |
that if users really need this, they really should consider a different |
| 14 |
distribution as gentoo's obviously not right for them. |

So yeah, a mention of --exclude in the manpage's --newuse discussion |
| 17 |
sounds quite balanced, to me. =:^) |
