If I understand it correctly the profiles are used to define the minimum |
| 2 |
requirements to install and maintain a Gentoo machine. If that's a correct |
| 3 |
assumption I wonder why e2fsprogs is part of the profiles. I maintain a lot |
| 4 |
of machines and none of them contains a EXT2- or EXT3-partition. |

| 6 |
Why not treat EXT2 and EXT3 the same as every other filesystem and remove it |
| 7 |
from the profiles and mention it in the documentation for example see |

Please keep this on topic and don't start a flame about a mandatory EXT2 |
| 11 |
boot-partition, because other filesystems are not stable enough. This may be |
| 12 |
true for some filesystems but not for all filesystems. |

How do I proceed? Create a bugzilla-entry for this? |
