I don't want to turn off all IUSE defaults. Since we have no policy on
what IUSE defaults should be used for, half of them are important, and
the other half are junk. I don't want to disable the ones that are
critical for the package to function, and I don't want to disable the
ones that satisfy an (otherwise unsatisfied) REQUIRED_USE constraint.
