I've already stated my preference for not doing *anything* outside of merging packages in the stages. Were this >stage3, I wouldn't care. Anyway, I'd much rather leave everything as it is now than add the emerge --config stuff. You're free to add it to the ebuilds, of course, which would satisfy the people that want it, but I would prefer not add it to the stages, even if it is documented in the Handbook, as it isn't required. Basically, I'd rather we either throw it into the earlier stages, or not do it at all. You've given good reason on why, while technically feasible since we're only caring about bash at this time, it is still a bad idea as it opens us up to yet another slippery slope. I completely see your point, which is why I'm taking the stance that things are best left as they are now. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
