1 This came up in bug 572348. Question, especially to maintainers of
2 eselect modules, is it safe to globally set "umask +rx" in eselect,
3 or are there any circumstances where files should be created with more
4 restrictive permissions when root's umask asks for it?

6 Of course, it would still be possible to set a more restrictive umask
7 or set permissions explicitly with chmod when this is needed in any
8 module.
