Is that as it is meant to be or some not-so-ideal-switch that will soon get some polishing? IMO I shouldn't have to list hundreds of packages (I had to add more and more) in some non-default-list ... even when I decide to run unstable (~amd64). My main system isn't that special at all, gnome, systemd, libreoffice, thunderbird, some browsers ... Stuff like that makes me really wonder if I spend too much of my life time struggling with doing *updates* I like Gentoo, you all know, but things like that scare me off a bit. Stefan
