Looking at profiles/base/packages, I see a bunch of lines that are
commented out. For example,
*sys-apps/which
#*sys-devel/autoconf
#*sys-devel/automake
*sys-devel/binutils
#*sys-devel/bison
#*sys-devel/flex
*sys-devel/gcc
Does anyone know why those are commented as opposed to just.

Well, the advantage of assignment is that it does simplify copyright

A former co-worker of mine is now at Google and wants to contribute
