I don't object to this, but just to satisfy my curiosity, what are the |

It'd be very difficult if not impossible to construct a system without |
10 |
these. The only effect I've noticed from changes like these are that |
11 |
sometimes the packages will be depcleaned from stage3 tarballs if |
12 |
nothing has them in RDEPEND. |

Are there any other cases? |
