Not quite. I just started by siding with the current implementation which is to disable system readline in rc versions of bash. You're actually the one challenging a new implementation which would allow it. But anyway, what do you think about just enabling IUSE="+system-readline" by default to any version, and just rely on KEYWORDS="" to prevent the user from misusing it with a pre-release version of bash? I believe we can both agree on that idea. -- konsolebox
