Sounds like a really good idea to me. Will this require any |

modifications to portage, or will it automagically ignore # comments |
| 7 |
in that file? |

I recently added the 'udev' flag which is automatically turned on by |
| 15 |
sys-fs/udev. This is needed by at least one package |
| 16 |
(sys-apps/pcmciautils) to determine if the user wishes to install |
| 17 |
pcmciautils as an udev helper or as a hotplug helper. This was done |
| 18 |
after discussing the subject in #gentoo-kernel. |
