IMO this should certainly be installed by default, but it should also |
| 8 |
not be a part of the @system set unless portage depends on it or |
| 9 |
something like that. |

Thus this should probably wait until we start releasing stage4s. |

The fact that everybody wants a package to be installed shouldn't be a |
| 14 |
reason to put it in the @system set. It should instead be a reason to |
| 15 |
have some tool other than the @system set to give everybody what they |
| 16 |
want. We need one set for the stuff that everybody agrees is |
| 17 |
indispensable (@tbd), and a different set for the minimum set of |
| 18 |
software (@system) you need to bootstrap the rest of the packages in |
| 19 |
the repo. |
