Next, systemd users will (correctly) remark that their systems are unnecessarily cluttered with openrc init scripts. Then, I may remark that my system is unnecessarily cluttered by quite some cmake modules that can search for libraries I'll never install. Not to speak of the boost sub-libraries that none of my installed packages uses. Etc etc etc. Please get a grip. > 2) I suggested keying on a "systemd" USE flag, to inform portage whether > or not to install systemd units.

Use flags are not the correct way to control solely the installation of a few small files. If you really care (i.e. embedded systems), this is what install masks are for. Then just modify your /etc/make.conf accordingly. Believe me, that goes much faster than writing another discussion mail. -- Andreas K.
