Well, one of the reasons I brought up this concern comes from |
| 10 |
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/about.xml |

In the Larry The Cow poster/image it says; |
| 13 |
"He discovered lots of up-to-date packages that could be auto-built using |
| 14 |
the optimization settings and build-time functionality that he wanted, |
| 15 |
rather than what some distro creator thought would be best for him." |
| 16 |
|

I would assume from this that packages would be installed without |
| 18 |
distro customization. Granted this doesn't say we won't change the |
| 19 |
default behavior of programs, but I think it's a logical conclusion based |
| 20 |
on the above quote from the website. |
