Sure, it is opt-in always. Done. :) And like any other decision in Gentoo, it can always be changed at a later date when circumstances change. There really are no "promises." However, I'm sure that such a thing would only change after careful deliberation and only if it makes a lot of sense. Just look at how long it took to stabilize OpenRC, or preserve-libs. I'm not really sure what people are looking for here. The word of a developer who might not be around forever, or a council that might not be around forever? I'd like to think that our past experiences haven't been so bad as to justify a great level of concern. If somebody wanted to foist this feature prematurely on the masses I'd be the first to object... Rich
