IMO that is a pretty poor definition, and we aren't really forced to stick with it regardless of how it got there. But, I tend to be an advocate of a minimal @system. Really, I'd prefer if it were split and renamed @bootstrap and @common or something like that, and if it was only used by catalyst and could not be relied upon as being installed by default. My all means stick it in the default /var/lib/portage/world for convenience, but users shouldn't get scary warnings when they uninstall openssh. -- Rich
