This partuclar part seems promising. Can't we treat XFree as a major system component? I think that most of the packages in GRP set are built with X in USE and XFree86 itself is distributed on the 2 Set CD by default. I think it would be reasonable to treat graphical envirnment a major componet.
But it isn't a major component (often one will use Gentoo for a server OS). I don't think we should be squirming our way through some dubious change in semantics to fit in with their new and incompatible license.
Yes, it is a major component. Nay, it is a critical component. Without a GUI, we may as well write our source code on toilet paper and distribute it to the developers to be used appropriately.
Graphical User Environment = Market Acceptance. Period.
