Okay, I will remove it in a minute. Answering some points: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1) Not a news item. News items IMHO are for things that require |
| 17 |
significant user intervention, eg. when I changed up the entire profile |
| 18 |
structure and the user had to eselect profile. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
2) I'm only changing the default, so for those who still want unicode |
| 21 |
off, you can still do USE=-unicode in you make.conf |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
3) I agree that hardened should be mostly off by default. Eg. ipv6 is |
| 24 |
off by default. But as pressure mounts the switch to on by default may |
| 25 |
have to occur as it has now with unicode and will happen some day with ipv6. |
