If it's going to be kept around, then please get rid of the warning in ebuilds. I'm one of the few people who checks /var/log/portage/elog regularly.

If you want a light profile, I suggest doing what I do... start your USE variable in make.conf with "-*", and add any flags you need, either in package.use or in make.conf. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
