Subject: [gentoo-dev] questionable usefulness of virtual/pdfviewer,psviewer

Got a request¹ providing them, but I don't see any sense in it at all. The 
only package using it is app-office/lyx. Imho the dependency should be 
removed, since it is a optional runtime dependency the user has to configure 
anyways, so it'll never work out of the box. This sort of virtual is only 
useless bloat imho. I guess the same goes for virtual/textbrowser which is - 
for whatever reason - the run- _and_ compile-time dependency of 
app-text/docbook-sgml-utils.

Opinions?!
