OK, so because every 3rd gnome user is not able to add the proper use flag |
| 17 |
to make.conf, every non-gnome user is stuck with investigating and putting |
| 18 |
-eds into make.conf to avoid pulling in gnome crap. Wonderful. |

Yes, I am ranting, because this kind of use flags basically pulls in huge |
| 21 |
number or unwanted dependencies; exactly the same thing with motif - would |
| 22 |
someone explain why the heck do do we need this thing in make.defaults? |
| 23 |

I don't think that this discussion will lead somewhere, so - anyone cares to |
| 25 |
add a non-bloated x86 profile (basically, something like |
| 26 |
profiles/hardened/x86/2.6 minus the hardened stuff) so that people who don't |
| 27 |
want all this bloat can have a sane starting point? |
