Sometimes I'm really angry how demanding #Gentoo users are. They choose a source-built distribution, then complain that they have to install build-time dependencies.
What's even more absurd, they're not complaining about hogs like browsers that require a dedicated version of LLVM + Clang + Rust combo, but *pure Python packages*. Yep, the problem ain't a few extra hours of compiling, nor few hundred megs of binaries. The problem's a dozen dependencies of Sphinx.
