Well, they had the poll but the dev thinks he knows better.  So, this is 
Gentoo and the devs rule the roost here.  It's pretty much been that way 
since I started using Gentoo back in 2003.  I don't expect it to change 
and you shouldn't either.  ;-)   Just do like I do, when they change 
something, override it with your own setting.  It works for me.
