14 By DEFAULT it is on EVERY Gentoo-system.
15 If you CHOOSE to remove the default then you have to be prepared that
16 something may be broken after that.
17
18 You could never be certain that anything set as default is existent on
19 the system. Even if a distro would remove the possibility to uninstall
20 the default with the help of the package manager so is there always rm
21
22 So every default could be a non-existent default.
