Yeah, the big picture here is that make.defaults has been bloated by use
flags needed/relevant for one or two ebuilds only for quite some time
and users and devs alike have been ranting about the same for quite some
time...

A bunch of examples:

libg++
cli
ppds
nptlonly
reflection
session
spl
dlloader
isdnlog
bitmap-fonts
truetype-fonts
type1-fonts
...

Those plain don't make sense in make.defaults.
