I don't even know how it works so if you are the same as me, you won't need it.So why are you installing it, and all its dependencies, on the one hand, and complaining about bloat on the other? Surely installing stuff you don't need is the very definition of bloat.
But it installed stuff either way. Instread of ABD, I got WXYZ because of dependencies. It's not that I want them, it's that portage needs them to make a package that I do want happy. This reminds me of the six of one or half a dozen of the other. This may be nine of one tho. lol
