No. I just don't see the point to unnecessarily remove a package of
249.72 KB that might
be very tricky to find out all of its dependencies and will lead to
(unnecessarily) ebuild rewriting.
bc is the kind of application that has been around long time enough to
cause tricky
problems, that's fine ...  as long as it isn't unncessarily.
