I'd say the udev folks need their coffee/tea checked. If this logic stems |
| 11 |
from some requirement for a window manager/desktop environment on some other |
| 12 |
distro, then we need to make sure that becomes a configurable item in Gento |
| 13 |
or not support that package. |

This is the exact setup I use, and it's worked great since 2003. No, it's |
| 16 |
not the setup for everyone, so I don't think it should be mandatory for |
| 17 |
everyone, either. I expect the same for other approaches to have a use for |
| 18 |
some segment of users, but not to code it in as a hard-set default. |

Gentoo's about choice. Why else do we have more USE flags than the entirety |
| 20 |
of the IPv6 address space? |
