So basically I have to have it anyway? It's just one more thing to
update is why I want to gt rid of it.
You have better things to worry about, trust me :-)
Like, why do you have to have redland and lucene around when a) redland sucks
b) lucene sucks much less despite being java?
Or XML parsers... why do you invariably have libxml and expat at the same
time?
For that matter, I'll bet you have 3 SLOTTED versions of db in addition to
gdbm (all in addition to sqlite of course)
Lets not even start with the scripting languages ... I often hear newbies
complain about having bash, python, perl and ruby all at the same time. Can't
the devs just stick to one language?
See where I'm going with this? At <10M for two versions of sqlite, it's not
worth worrying about and you don't have to pay any attention to updating it -
portage and --depclean will sort you out just fine

Should I be turning some of those off as they are not needed? This is
my oldest install so I bet some are not even needed or can be done away
with. I most likely had a good reason for turning them on way back when
but may not have a good reason now.
