IMO that is a pretty poor definition, and we aren't really forced to |
| 10 |
stick with it regardless of how it got there. |

But, I tend to be an advocate of a minimal @system. Really, I'd |
| 13 |
prefer if it were split and renamed @bootstrap and @common or |
| 14 |
something like that, and if it was only used by catalyst and could not |
| 15 |
be relied upon as being installed by default. My all means stick it |
| 16 |
in the default /var/lib/portage/world for convenience, but users |
| 17 |
shouldn't get scary warnings when they uninstall openssh. |
