What about PPPoE? I don't think that hurts people who don't use it either? |

IMO, stuff in system should be what is actually required... If it included |
| 7 |
things that were common for a particular installation, then there would |
| 8 |
likely be more than just default-*, and if I'm wrong about what system should |
| 9 |
be for, let me know because it would mean I should probably be using a new |
| 10 |
profile for InGen instead of making a custom automated etc-update to protect |
| 11 |
InGen's make.conf... |
