If they aren't, I don't need a Fortran compiler and I'd rather not waste system resources on building one. Please don't bitch out the devs - we have few enough of them as it is. I have a number of bugs open (on b.g.o), one or two of which have not moved in months. The others are newer, and I assume they're are not going to get fixed much faster, and I assume the reason is that there just aren't the developer resources available. I mean, I could assume that the devs just hate me, but that seems a pessimistic attitude. I'm pretty sure they're not breaking things out of spite. None of my bugs are fixed as easily as recompiling a couple of packages - I don't whine about trivial stuff like that - they all require manual intervention and that I modify ebuilds myself and keep them in local. I sunk several hours into this this weekend. I would be glad to bitch out the devs and say why aren't you doing it this way?, why isn't this fixed yet? but I don't feel I have any right to. I'm reserving bitching out the devs until I can afford to pay them money on a regular basis. What's your entitlement? Stroller.

And, we're not required to use it. Maybe it happens somewhere but I don't know of any truly interactive user driven process that decides what gets included in any ebuild. It is driven more by our kind devs by whatever decision process they use. I'm *perfectly* fine with that. To some Gentoo users anything on the system that they don't actively use is bloat. I understand. To others, myself included, I don't mind if there's a bunch of extra stuff on my system if it makes some developer's life easier. 95% of what I do in KDE is run Firefox or a VM for trading futures and the balance is mostly use a terminal to maintain my systems. I use Skype a little, backup to a few different external hard drives. Sometimes I play solitaire. Nearly all of my media watching is done in a VM due to NetFlix not supporting anything that runs native on Linux, although I do use xine to watch the occasional DVD from NetFlix that only I want to watch. I don't share desktops, share or mount anything natively Windows. I don't use Konqueror or KDE Mail. I use almost nothing in the KDE Menus for Development, Education, Games, Graphics, Multimedia or Office. And I also don't care enough to do anything about trying to maintain a 'smaller' KDE footprint on my machine because the code builds plenty fast and I don't want to use my time that way. This is just my 'life can be simple' strategy. It works for me and has allowed me to drop about 40 pounds of bloat in the last 8 months. Blood pressure is down. I sleep better.

It became almost a superstition with me! ;-) As I am a user type and not a dev, I didn't know then, and actually don't now, that something on the system isn't actually programmed in Fortran and that removing it would cause a problem so I've just left it in forever. It never seemed important enough to go figure out since it only directly effected gcc ebuilds which is a big build and not done very often.
