Well I for one can't stand bash-completion, but I guess I could always |

disable it if others think it useful. |

If it's just for a specific package, there is a default package.use iirc. |

I'd have to agree on that one. We've always installed without fortran, and |
| 18 |
it was easy enough to switch it back in for the user who needed koctave. |

Well I think those two are there so that samba works well as an Active |
| 24 |
Directory server, or is integrated better into a Windoze setup. Kerberos |
| 25 |
was only added recently for that reason, iirc. So I'd vote against losing |
| 26 |
them for a default install, since integration with heterogeneous networks |
| 27 |
is so important. Dunno if that can be managed better with package.use. |

(If I haven't commented on one it means I don't have a preference either |
| 30 |
way.) |
