This is regarding yesterday's gentoo/kde overlay commit ce3e14feb to plasma-desktop (-9999 in my case), adding sys-apps/accountsservice as an RDEPEND for the user KCM. Of course that pulls in policykit and all its deps. I don't need the user KCM /that/ bad and otherwise accountsservice is an unnecessary (I've been running quite happily without it and the upstream sources don't require it in general) and potentially rather heavy RDEPEND with security complexity and implications I imagine many gentooers would rather not deal with. Obviously I'm one of them, perfectly comfortable doing user account related changes at the CLI. =:^P Please make add USE=policykit and put the accountsservice RDEPEND under that. Of course you can do IUSE=+policykit if you like and have it on-by-default.
