Would I like there to be the option, yep, I sure would. There are
also times when I want to get rid of a package and all its config
files. The option would be nice but it should be a option.
I think that the ideal would be if portage could set some kind of
'marker' so that etc-update, dispatch-conf etc could prompt the user as
to whether to keep or remove the orphaned file.
That would work and may even be better. Either way, keeping unneeded
config files out would be good. We got tools to clean out everything
else so may as well have that too. Now getting someone to come up with
one, that could be interesting for sure.
Since portage has so many options already, I wonder what letter it would
get? Are there even any good ones left. Maybe it would be a number
like oneshot. o_O
