The meaning of the system set is to have only the packages directly required to have a minimal functioning system. Having python by itself is not a requirement for that but having package management is. As a consequence python gets pulled in by portage. We could have a separate list for packages for which the PM should tell the user that he's an idiot of course but the best thing is to educate users that emerge -C is dangerous. Regards, Petteri
