Well, yes and no. Mixins would allow us to have more than one |
| 16 |
packages.default as well. |

The point is that rather than arguing over one configuration and what |
| 19 |
goes in and out, we can have 47 different configurations that aren't |
| 20 |
hard to maintain and everybody can have their own idea of what goes in |
| 21 |
and out. Plus, those configurations will probably make sense since |
| 22 |
instead of "server" we might have "postfix server" or "LAMP box" and |
| 23 |
so on. Nobody argues with having systemd in the Gnome3 desktop |
| 24 |
profile (well, at least not with Gentoo's role in putting it there), |
| 25 |
because in that context it makes sense, while putting it in the |
| 26 |
default profile would be a highly controversial matter. Choice is a |
| 27 |
way to get around arguments like this. |
