where ? i have yet to see an objection to IUSE defaults and plenty of
support. in fact, the exact opposite makes sense: it *decreases*
maintenance. time and again having information split between an ebuild and
the profiles/ directory has resulted in bit rot. having all the information
in the ebuild allows for trivial changes on a per-ebuild basis and not
needing to update multiple files in unrelated trees.
