"gentoo-oldscripts" |

The intent isn't to remove these scripts (unless for some reason you |
| 11 |
don't want them), but to just move them to a different package, and |
| 12 |
get that package pulled in by default. We're just debating the |
| 13 |
various mechanisms for doing this. The initial proposal was to |
| 14 |
basically tell everybody to install it manually, which isn't that hard |
| 15 |
to do and works just fine. The downside to it is that anybody who |
| 16 |
misses the news loses their network on the next reboot (not that this |
| 17 |
is anything new for anybody running udev). The leading proposal is to |
| 18 |
just pull it in with a defaulted USE flag, and maybe issue a warning |
| 19 |
if a user has that flag overrided. |

It will take little to no work to keep networking exactly as it is on |
| 22 |
a Gentoo system, and the main debate here is how to get to "no work" |
| 23 |
for as many users as possible while not taking away choice. |
