To solve this issue it would have to be an on-by-default flag, i.e. |
| 17 |
'noxserver'. I know some people are strongly against nofoo flags. |

|
| 19 |
Also, we'd have to include RDEPEND="!noxserver? ( x11-base/xorg-x11 )" in |
| 20 |
every ebuild in the tree being updated to depend on x11-base/xorg-libs. Or an |
| 21 |
eclass to the same effect. This would be easily forgotten in new ebuilds, and |
| 22 |
then we'd get inconsistent behavior. |
