Okay, USE flags are one idea; I can see how that would make maintenance a little easier than having two separate baselayout ebuilds; just have a posix USE flag rather than calling it baselayout-posix or whatever. Next question, then, since I am extremely, exquisitely glad to know that the existing, familiar, comfortable, (etc.) way of doing it will be allowed, how long will that last. That is, will we all be forced to migrate to the new way of configuring things at some point in the future, or is that so far off yet that we needn't worry? I'm wondering if you see us all switching at some point, say, 6 - 9 months down the road. How long are you willing to support the status quo?
