Re: [gentoo-dev] Automatic menus?

I normally don't get involved in 'discussions' like this, but I will this 
time. I, personally, have no opinion on the menus issue, but I would like 
to address your comment about conviences..

I believe that a large number of people don't object so much to new 
features that 'go against their view', as they do to _having to turn them 
off!!_ You want menus? By all means, implement it, but don't make me have 
to turn it off if I don't like it; Make it so that if I don't like it, I 
just don't enable it. 

adding new conviences that are on by default is exactly like opt-out spam; 
Just say No!!
