It seems to me like network support needs to be some kind of default |
| 14 |
for Gentoo. A USE default is probably one of the least intrusive ways |
| 15 |
to do that - and we can always have an ewarn in the event both are |
| 16 |
suppressed (those who override all USE defaults should be on the |
| 17 |
lookout for trouble). |

Considering our default configuration ships sshd (an argument we don't |
| 20 |
need to rehash here), it seems a bit silly to not ship networking |
| 21 |
support by default. I'd rather not do it as part of the system set, |
| 22 |
though that would be consistent with what we're doing with ssh, and it |
| 23 |
is still override-able. |
