Would you have the same argument if the vanilla default was emacs and the ebuild changed it to vim? All you're complaining about is that a distro that expects users to configure everything for themselves is expecting you to add one line to a config file. This "problem" could also be fixed by USE flags. Instead of whining why not submit a patch that has the ebuild respect the vanilla USE flag? -- Neil Bothwick Everybody needs a little love sometime; stop hacking and fall in love!
