Then don't use it. Reality is, gentoo does. If you don't like that fact, I suggest you stick to exherbo. Related, why the hell are you still even around here? You literally send more mail to our dev ml then to exherbos. I wouldn't care if it weren't the fact your gentoo dev posts generally consist of "xyz is stupid, as is the people behind it" whether it be portage, udev, council, etc, take your pick. ~harring (being rather tired of the broken record).
