I don't see the point of using USE="-*" for learning, if you want to
really learn, create and overlay and make your own profile, read the
developer documentation about it, and do a proper thing, not some
clunky mess in /etc/portage.
You could very well evaluate the basic profile, and part from there or
modify it as you see fit, but making a mess that you wont be able to
port easily in case you actually make something you might want to keep
and reproduce somewhere else, is not getting a better understanding.
