As a user I have to thank you very much for this statement. These are |
| 9 |
exactly my thoughts whenever these lengthy discussions about changing |
| 10 |
some default setting crop up. The main reason I love gentoo is because |
| 11 |
it makes it easy to have everything my way. (Un)masking something is as |
| 12 |
simple as adding one line in /etc/portage/package.(un)mask, so I only |
| 13 |
marginally care about whether something is stable, testing or even |
| 14 |
package masked. |

As a side remark to all those who argue themselves to death in the |
| 17 |
"cups useflag in default profile" thread: The same applies to disabling |
| 18 |
and enabling useflags ;) |

Well I guess I should go back into hiding now. |
