Well, I'm not sure I see any contradiction.  When people say that gentoo 
is about choice, it means that we should give the end-user flexibility 
whenever it is feasible.  Of course that doesn't mean that there should 
be a lunar-lander-in-a-box use flag.  However, if KDE 4.2 includes a 
lunar lander module we should in fact add such a flag for the benefit of 
those of us who don't own space programs.

So, Gentoo isn't about choice.  Gentoo is about empowering users.  And 
we do that by giving them a choice whenever we can afford to.  So, 
Gentoo is about choice.  Q.E.A. ;)
