emacs provides virtual/editor |

The system profile is a set of programs that is necessary for your |
| 4 |
computer to boot and build other programs. One of this things you need |
| 5 |
to do to boot a computer is to edit the configuration files in /etc, |
| 6 |
for that you need an editor. The system profile (you can see what it |
| 7 |
brings in by "emerge --emptytree --pretend system") requires something |
| 8 |
that satisfies virtual/editor, and by default I think gentoo uses |
| 9 |
nano. If you have another editor, like nano, or vim, or pico, then you |
| 10 |
should be fine to unmerge emacs. |

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. |
