I'd suggest that we probably don't want anything dynamic here. I think most of our users would appreciate a friendly "here, I went ahead and pre-loaded screen for you but feel free to drop it" on the first install. They could review that world file and see what is/isn't pre-loaded and just delete the whole file if they want a blank slate. On the other hand, three years into using their system they probably wouldn't appreciate if portage just went and installed screen for them, because it was trying to be helpful and we decided that new installs should now include screen. -- Rich
