True :)  Anyhow, I was just trying to explain some of the 
reasoning behind things as I see it.

Keep in mind that Gentoo is still in development, and that
there is some key features we want to sort out first, before
we will get to details like this.  If you really want to know
if, how, and why, speak to Daniel sometime :)

Thanks for the ideas, I am sure it will get some thought into
the future when we get there :)  Anyhow, thanks for using,
hope you enjoy :)
