This is my (mis)conception, although, as you have suggest, there are (gentoo) cultural norms that do suggest certain boolean operations should not be used, in say for example, package.keywords? I'm mostly running stable with exceptions being enabled via the /etc/portage file structure. Usually it's small, but now with kde4, BLOAT is my modus operandi, not by choice...... thanks, James
