Rather than every developer working with IUSE and packages. While they may be

My main interest is in being able to use a package set in a profile.
While retaining that set on its own for rebuild and other purposes.
Someone may want to use said set, but not a given profile using the set.
Having sets being usable in profiles gives you the best of both.

Also more information when attempting to remove a package that is not
removed.
