If you don't like the idea, better hope over to -dev and help come up with ideas. Actually, you may have to go hunt down the Fedora dev that came up with this brilliant idea. The Gentoo devs are just having to follow along since the Fedora dev isn't listening. Personally, I hope he runs into a real hair pulling issue that makes him regret this. Then again, he is using a binary distro which uses a init* anyway so he may not care either way. Should we wish for a nice rm command to get put into his init* thingy and erase his stuff? Evil ain't I? LOL What's the emoticon thingy for choking a person? This work? :-@ Dale :-) :-)
