The thing to note is that if you're relying on negation, it's going to bite you in the ass without efforts. A server subprofile pulling from a parent that holds desktop cruft will be forced to either A) reinvent the wheel (maintain their own USE list), as a sizable chunk of users do via -* usage B) or very carefully watch people screwing around with the parent, tagging in a new desktop USE var, and adding the matching negation.
One would hope that some minimal effort of communication to the maintainers of inheriting profiles by people changing the ancestor profiles would prevent the need for this.
