Well I for one can't stand bash-completion, but I guess I could always
disable it if others think it useful.

If it's just for a specific package, there is a default package.use iirc.

I'd have to agree on that one. We've always installed without fortran, and
it was easy enough to switch it back in for the user who needed koctave.

Well I think those two are there so that samba works well as an Active
Directory server, or is integrated better into a Windoze setup. Kerberos
was only added recently for that reason, iirc. So I'd vote against losing
them for a default install, since integration with heterogeneous networks
is so important. Dunno if that can be managed better with package.use.

(If I haven't commented on one it means I don't have a preference either
way.)
