What will happen to the USE flags currently in use.defaults when this
is removed? Perhaps some of them be moved to the profiles instead?

I'm mostly concerned about the 'udev' USE flag. Some packages rely on
this to be able to function correctly on an udev enabled system.
Since udev seems to be the default choice for our default-linux
profiles, it would make sense to also set USE=udev in those profiles?

Apart from that, no objections from me - auto-use can be rather
confusing at times.
