we've got pretty good USE=readline coverage now, and there's nothing this 
provides in terms of utility programs that means we need this to be explicitly 
listed in the profile as a system package.  so time to drop it.

Um... package, or USE flag?

You mention the USE flag but then say the package, but don't mention the 
category in either the subject or body, which again tilts toward the USE 
flag as it's bare, while the package normally comes with a category, 
particularly given that there are two such packages in the tree so the 
package name alone is ambiguous.  But since there's two packages and a 
USE flag and there's reasons to argue one way but you specifically said 
the other, which is ambiguous on its own, it's doubly ambiguous!

I think 'system package in the profile' makes it pretty clear.
