No, starting with USE="-*" is very dangerous. It is not recommended nor
supported, in any setup, by the dev community. If you do it, you are
solely responsible for your system and you get to keep the broken pieces
when things do not work.
A safer approach would be to turn off the specific use flags you do not
want to support.
