I assumed you'd also want to include bitcoin_policy_rbf and bitcoin_policy_spamfilter as well (if not, why treat them differently?). Also, I'm not sure if ljr is going to get refactored. What the defaults should be is a different matter, but for small self-contained patches I think USE flags generally make more sense. -- Rich
