...actually, if we want to remove dhcpcd from system, i would love to 
see something like this in baselayout.
PDEPEND="!build ( dhcp-client? ( virtual/dhcp-client ) )"
...or something similar. that way a default virtual can be added, 
dhcp-client can be in a profile's USE, and a user could uninstall (or 
just not install) it without the profile forcing it to be part of the 
system profile. the best of both sides... maybe?

feel free to beat me with something if i'm totally wrong here. :)
