[gentoo-dev] Proposal: Make developer profiles more difficult to select

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Reading around on the net, it amazes me how many people are using 
developer profiles for their Gentoo because they think it's for software 
developers and don't see that it's for Gentoo developers and not 
intended for end users.  They know the "Developer" installation profiles 
of other distros and think Gentoo's profiles are just the same (on those 
distros, selecting a dev profile just means it installs GCC + dev libs + 
IDEs by default.)

Some kind of warning or other mechanism that does selecting this profile 
without knowing what you're doing would be a good idea.
