Requiring policykit, let alone networkmanager and dbus as a default is |
| 12 |
not something I'd personally agree with as a sane choice. If you're |
| 13 |
trying to build *just* a desktop distro, sure, it's sane. We're not |
| 14 |
however, thus invalidating those options from where I'm sitting. |

Regarding systemd, someone needs to do some pretty serious prototyping |
| 17 |
of it before it's even an option- on paper it looks rather promising. |
| 18 |
Paper != reality. With respect to systemd's upstream, someone has to |
| 19 |
do the legwork of proving it matches its hype- specifically that it is |
| 20 |
a good fit for gentoo. |

I'll skip the modern tools portion of the complaint, since that's |
| 23 |
just a bit ranty ;) |
