In my quick 30 seconds of searching I found at least one bug on this very issue. You may find more if you look for them. ;) https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221311 Please provide reasons/justifications for the proposal of removing packages from the system set or from the ebuilds instead of just raising random questions (which end up with no results and hence just "noise"). -Jeremy
