I think it would be beneficial to have man-pages included by default, |
| 15 |
but not in a way that make them a required component of the system. (ie, |
| 16 |
so users can emerge unemerge man-pages with no problems.) |

System commands (man-pages) should be preferred over the C function |
| 19 |
calls. |
