As I wrote in an other mail: Stop interfering with the actual configfile and add the changes to a config.conf.dist file. There you don't have to ask for permission and a simple diff can reveal the changes whenever I want. During install a copy of this file could be installed already for direct use.. Something alike for the messages during an emerge. Often I see instructions on what to do after the emerge flashing by while doing an emerge world, I don't even want to know how many I miss.. Why not log those to a seperate file so one can actually find them back afterwards? I know Gentoo is supposed to be for those who know how to deal with things, but that doesn't mean it should be more complicated of dangerous than needed..
