in our case, what is not locally compiled through portage is considered |
| 15 |
an "add-on" that means things like JDK's, Opera, OpenOffice-bin, |
| 16 |
Netscape 4.x and other binary-only applications. |

emerge's go as "system" since the emerge command specifies that this |
| 19 |
should be part of your installation, and it is something we provide with |
| 20 |
our OS, not an "add-on" to it. |

fex. A user can bootstrap, then just "emerge kde" and have a fully |
| 23 |
functional (supposedly) system. |

I've cc'd the list because this is relevant to them, please do the same |
