I've already stated my preference for not doing *anything* outside of |
| 7 |
merging packages in the stages. Were this >stage3, I wouldn't care. |

Anyway, I'd much rather leave everything as it is now than add the |
| 9 |
emerge --config stuff. You're free to add it to the ebuilds, of course, |
| 10 |
which would satisfy the people that want it, but I would prefer not add |
| 11 |
it to the stages, even if it is documented in the Handbook, as it isn't |
| 12 |
required. Basically, I'd rather we either throw it into the earlier |
| 13 |
stages, or not do it at all. You've given good reason on why, while |
| 14 |
technically feasible since we're only caring about bash at this time, it |
| 15 |
is still a bad idea as it opens us up to yet another slippery slope. I |
| 16 |
completely see your point, which is why I'm taking the stance that |
| 17 |
things are best left as they are now. |
