I'll have to install it then, as a graphical desktop is essential. But two 
pythons still looks to me like bloat. In all my previous builds, I've been able 
to avoid python3 altogether. On the other hand, I must say I'm impressed with 
ninja. I built glib yesterday and it took only a fraction of the time it used 
to take using make.
