Good input. |

QUESTION: I've been somewhat unhappy over the last year with Gentoo |
| 25 |
package maintainers doing little updates to gnome files which seems to |
| 26 |
drive more and more little updates. Granted, I could mask things, |
| 27 |
etc., but I've found it frustrating. I've worried with KDE that it's |
| 28 |
so big I'll find myself updating files pretty much all the time. Is |
| 29 |
this warranted or just me worrying? |
