Hi list!I just noticed the USE flag "security" in stable app-portage/eix. The description is hardly helpful: It fixes exploits but is not enabled by default. Why? What are the drawbacks? I couldn't find anything in a quick online search.
eix is known for having some rather ridiculous USE flags (optimization, strong-optimization). "security" is another one you can simply ignore.
