Well, part of this conversation needs to be, what is the default networking stack that we want to have in gentoo? IMO that should remain netifrc but that's just my personal opinion. After deciding that, I expect we should decide how to include it. My guess would be, since for whatever reason we don't want netifrc as part of @system or a dep of baselayout-2 or anything like that, we'd need to add it to the special releng include list? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlKc+qEACgkQ2ugaI38ACPAu6AD/RpeD8NsMsjt4X5EKYe6Tkixu 6qzCONtd44U+grcxKr0BALw1EaxdI/EQ+Fo3eASssQ8fUH/dRFus5EUPo46dPz0L =Bmfz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
