Isn't that why we have base profiles? It's kinda icky moving that
metadata partially into ebuilds IMO...
Are you saying you like a bunch of php-only USE flags (I'm not picking on
php...it was just the first that came to mind) being in the default USE in the
profile?
Do you also like the nofoo flags? AFAIK, previous discussions said that the
per-ebuild default USE would go in the USE stacking order above make.conf and
below package.use, so that USE="-*" wouldn't remove the default USE flags for
the particular ebuild but the user could still disable it via package.use if
they *really* wanted to.
