Which one, Fortran-99 or Fortran-2006? ;)
(Well, Ok, gfortran in gcc does not do 2006 yet, but still..)

On the usage side: if you do that (i.e. remove it) you will be amazed by how 
many packages need it and how many users will cry foul because some 
dependency of their favorite app requires Fortran and now they have to 
rebuild gcc (or they even have no idea where to get Fortran from; yea, that 
happened too). It is for this precise reason that this useflag was *added* to 
default profiles not so long ago (well, about two years now :)). And this is 
like the 3rd time somebody wants to rip it off, just because "this is some 
kind of outdated language" ;).
Can we please leave it alone finally? Pretty please? :).
