But, would it make sense to just go the Funtoo route with "mix-ins." |
| 10 |
Basically instead of symlinking make.profile to a profile directory |
| 11 |
they turn make.profile into an actual profile which just has a parent |
| 12 |
that inherits all the real profiles, and eselect is designed to handle |
| 13 |
it. |

That would get rid of the 47 permutations in our current tree. It |
| 16 |
would also reduce the barrier to adding more options, since it means |
| 17 |
adding one subdir that only affects those who use/maintain it, and not |
| 18 |
23 combinations that drive everybody mad. |
