22 I see two issues here. Both are rather trivial to solve imho.
23
24 1.) If we are going to stuff this into @system then we probably want a
25 USE=nonet flag to allow users to not pull anything in if they really
26 don't want it.
27
28 2.) having dhcpcd in this list will cause everything else to be cleaned
29 out that that is baaaad. imho, dhcpcd shouldn't be on this list at all
30 purely from a safety perspective. The stages will have dhcpcd so they
31 wouldn't end up with netifrc afaict.
32
33
34 Just as a side note, after reading the thread up through this point, I'm
35 terrified of the individuals who wish to remove networking support from
36 stage3 entirely. If anyone wants to push that idea then that needs to
37 be addressed by the council. Period. Such a major change is going to
38 cause a holy war, and myself and others will actively revert any change
39 which removes net from stage3 under the guise of "critical breakage"
40 unless there is council direction that says we are no longer including
41 net support in the stage3s.
42
43 Honestly, I'm not really sure why anyone would want to make stage3 less
44 functional than it already is but honestly net isn't something I'm ready
45 to give up just yet.
