9 Hmm, ie, remove root from baselayout?  Honestly, that's a mind stretch.

13 No objection to do it the other way around, but since the value won't
14 make any sense it'll effectively become a "please allocate dynamically"
15 value - which goes against what you stated earlier of everything in
16 ::gentoo should be "static".
