Well, I'm not sure I see any contradiction. When people say that gentoo |
| 14 |
is about choice, it means that we should give the end-user flexibility |
| 15 |
whenever it is feasible. Of course that doesn't mean that there should |
| 16 |
be a lunar-lander-in-a-box use flag. However, if KDE 4.2 includes a |
| 17 |
lunar lander module we should in fact add such a flag for the benefit of |
| 18 |
those of us who don't own space programs. |

So, Gentoo isn't about choice. Gentoo is about empowering users. And |
| 21 |
we do that by giving them a choice whenever we can afford to. So, |
| 22 |
Gentoo is about choice. Q.E.A. ;) |
