I can understand the reasoning behind using this, but it seems unnecessarily laborious to do so - as I said, it would mean playing around with profiles whenever changing a package for which flags are defaulted. Perhaps some standardisation of what warrants an IUSE default could help, otherwise you might end up with the same situation, just relocated into the profiles namespace instead of the package. Having said that, I'm not strongly opposed, just trying to sound out pros/cons/gotcha's. -- Sam Jorna (wraeth) GnuPG Key: D6180C26
