What if I happen to emerge emacs because I want to learn how to use it, |
| 9 |
but would prefer that my default editor remain nano? Things like that |
| 10 |
shouldn't change just because I emerged emacs. |

Besides, I see it as quite Gentoo-like, given our history of *-config |
| 13 |
utilities (java-config, gcc-config). It might make sense to have an |
| 14 |
optional front end to all of them, so one just needs to remember |
| 15 |
sys-config, and from there select various options (java, gcc, editor, |
| 16 |
etc.). |
