Subject: [gentoo-dev] Proposal: removing "server" profile variants from profiles.desc
From: Ben Kohler <bkohler@gmail.com>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I would like to suggest that the "server" profile variants
(ie default/linux/amd64/10.0/server) be unlisted from profiles.desc, so
that they do not show up in "eselect profile list" for new users.  As far
as I know, this server target is unmaintained, undesirable, and somewhat
silly, if you look at its make.defaults.  If this target is being kept
around just so we don't break older setups, then simply removing from
profiles.desc would allow these systems to keep using the profile, without
presenting it as a viable option for new users.

Thoughts?
