Thanks to spyderous and his valiant efforts to stabilize xorg-x11, we
are wanting to create a new profile for the 2004.2 release on x86.

<wolf31o2-work> spyderous: xorg stable on x86 yet? hehe...
<spyderous> wolf31o2-work:  it's ready, if nothing comes up by the
weekend. i just added the last stuff about two days ago.
<wolf31o2-work> spyderous: PLEASE do... =] if we're willing to take the
heat, would you care if we made it the default for 2004.2?
<spyderous> wolf31o2-work:  sounds fine to me

If there are no objections, then I will create the profile this weekend,
right after spyderous marks xorg-x11 6.7.0-r1 stable.

Is this that necessary? Why couldn't we merge this stuff into the
default 2004.0 profile? It would impact more users that way (and even
more if it was integrated into the 1.4 profile). With stackable profiles
on their way (the only blocker now is the bootstrap script which is
being worked on), does it make sense to create yet another profile?

I would just merge the changes globally into all of our profiles (where
applicable). I see no reason to add more bloat.

Cheers,

Is the hardened USE flag supposed to be usable from a "default" profile
or is it supposed to be restricted to a hardened profile?
