I don't object to this, but just to satisfy my curiosity, what are the |
| 8 |
effects of removing, say, zlib or readline from the system profile? |
| 9 |
It'd be very difficult if not impossible to construct a system without |
| 10 |
these. The only effect I've noticed from changes like these are that |
| 11 |
sometimes the packages will be depcleaned from stage3 tarballs if |
| 12 |
nothing has them in RDEPEND. |

| 14 |
Are there any other cases? |
