By DEFAULT it is on EVERY Gentoo-system. If you CHOOSE to remove the default then you have to be prepared that something may be broken after that. You could never be certain that anything set as default is existent on the system. Even if a distro would remove the possibility to uninstall the default with the help of the package manager so is there always rm So every default could be a non-existent default.
