Afternoon all, |

I masked the latest version of plasma-meta, 5.18.5, when it appeared last |
| 4 |
week, because it insisted on installing network-manager, which I neither need |
| 5 |
nor want. Now I'm running an emerge -e @world, and portage insists on plasma- |
| 6 |
meta-5.18.5. (Why?) If I unmask it, network-manager insists on wifi ( wext ? |
| 7 |
Wifi ) even though there's no such hardware on this machine. |

For the moment I've excluded plasma-meta from the -e @world, which seems to be |
| 10 |
doing the job. |

Is this going to be policy in future? Bloat the machine up with bells and |
| 13 |
whistles that are unwanted, and even actively disliked. Already I've been |
| 14 |
obliged to install encryption and LVM, neither of which I want; where is it |
| 15 |
going to end? |
