Precisely. There is nothing wrong with convenience and ease of use, but once
the convenience granted to only a portion of the users implies including
unnecessary packages for everyone else, it's crossed the line. It doesn't
take any effort to type an emerge command to merge the package if it's
needed; why force it on people who have no use for it?
