Az once said near enough the same thing about baselayout. And that's
your view, your entitled to it, but it is not my view. Change a little
bit here, a little bit there. Slowly does it.

Yes, I know that a fair chunk of the tree will need a re-write, just in
the same way that the init scripts got a re-write. It will take time, it
will not happen magically over night. To think overwise is foolish :)

But if the default shell remains bash but the PM had enough knobs on it
so this could be changed (maybe per ebuild) in /etc then work *could*
start.

Thanks

Roy
