5 That might be acceptable. python and portage will always be present
6 on a Gentoo system. It's a litle weird, but may benefit everyone in
7 this situation. I'll get around to testing this soon. I'd prefer
8 that portage be ~arch before you make python ~arch, as it'll cause
9 headaches otherwise. The only reason I haven't yet is that it can
10 break the GUI's for portage. I'll be notifing the authors to be
11 sure that they are up to date, as soon as I have internet access
12 again. It's down as I'm writing this email.
