This is a key point.  I would hope that we don't make architectural
decisions that cater to those users who don't know what they're doing.
Gentoo has historically been a distro targeted at users who *do* know what
they're doing.

That's not to say we can't help those who are newer to linux (perhaps
warning messages or something if -@GROUP is used?) but the functionality
should assume a savvy user.

That's purely my opinion and it's bound to piss at least one person off.
Let the flames begin.
