What if there is some unofficial, user-contributed theme which is very, |
9 |
very popular among users of relevant package. I think that makes it a |
10 |
perfect candidate for being in portage[1], while not falling under your |
11 |
three exceptions. |

Realizing that I am replying to someone who was at the birth of |
19 |
Portage, I disagree - Portage is a means of getting filesets installed |
20 |
on a system in a controlled way. Choice of these filesets should be |
21 |
purely at packagers' discretion. Of course, common sense has to be |
22 |
applied. |

1. The reason for this is the same as the one we hate certain |
26 |
distributions, which force us to install nvidia drivers ourselves, |
27 |
without package manager aid. |
