Is there any policy, when they are added, how the reason for addition is = documented and when they are removed from profiles? In addition, i see a trend to enabled more more more USE flags (either ov= er profiles or via IUSE +flag). Whats the reason for forcing a big load of default enabled USE fl= ags on every user including more dependencies, more compile time, more wasted disk space and more pos= sible vulnerabilities except some users, who complain about a missing feature and are not able = to think and enable a USE flag for that feature? --=20 Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer --------------enig3AE8AD53F59AAB412F168037 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQEKAAYFAkrh4DMACgkQG7kqcTWJkGd66QP+JBzhooSikUcI+RvHXkYNlx+G 8jtNavBSdh9FMMIl0tO+OtsQoV0ixlgRbPb1WOFQTd5STsV/catvmmXop3XehjHz 8N1v2ZT/oJqO86dRxxVqvzeLVjgLMRVkheqlv02SZ93j5/aXwtUOl9NaWE4g28Nx 55c5BaXqCZ60Sc+zNrs= =CgiC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig3AE8AD53F59AAB412F168037--
