I just did. I did a emerge -ep system to see what it lists. From my
understanding emerge lists things in the "system" set in bold green.
There are three that are in light or not bold green. They are:
[ebuild R ] app-admin/eselect-1.1_rc2
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.13
[ebuild R ] dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13
I assume those are pulled in as a dependency of something else but I
don't consider them "critical" for portage or to boot.
Python is listed as dark or bold green so I guess it is included in the
system set.
Am I OK now? Well, as OK as I ever get anyway. ;-)
