6 -v is not itself a default, so if it controls the quiet output then
7 essentially a stock gentoo emerge command will be quiet. I'd consider
8 that just another variance on quiet-by-default.

10 Otherwise the poll is like asking Americans whether they prefer the
11 Republicans, Democracts, Greens, Communists, Socialists, Moderate
12 Democrats, Conservative Democrats, Liberal Democrats, Ordinary
13 Democrats, Good-looking Democrats, or Reformed Democrats, and then
14 pronouncing that Republicans outnumber Democrats 48%-10%.
15
16 I won't dispute that a majority seem to prefer the old way - but 52-28
17 isn't really a clear depiction of this. And no, this shouldn't
18 warrant having the elections team run a Condorcent vote (which should
19 handle issues like this).
