Definitely agreed, there.  IMO that whole issue's a tempest in a teapot, 
as the saying goes, not only because it's a trivial use of space, but 
because the solution for any gentooer that actually cares is equally 
trivial.

That's part of what gentoo is all about, having the tools available to 
simply do things like this for those who care to (see the whole Larry the 
Cow thing), which we do... as a major bullet point of what makes us 
gentoo. =:^)
