Hi, i would like to start a discussion about reducing the amount of default-enabled USE flags in profiles, especially in inherited basic profiles.
Is there any policy, when they are added, how the reason for addition is documented and when they are removed from profiles? In addition, i see a trend to enabled more more more USE flags (either over profiles or via IUSE +flag). Whats the reason for forcing a big load of default enabled USE flags on every user including more dependencies, more compile time, more wasted disk space and more possible vulnerabilities except some users, who complain about a missing feature and are not able to think and enable a USE flag for that feature? -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
