Even this is a bit more bloated than it needs to be. I have never used
'tcpd' or 'berkdb' on any system I run, and 'perl' and 'python' are
*much* more useful (IMO) as local flags (in package.use) than as global
ones. Even 'ssl' doesn't *have* to be there, especially in the global
scope - 'www-client/links ssl' in package.use should be more than
sufficient. One flag missing from that line that I like to have is
'bzip2' - tar just isn't quite the same without bz2 support. ;)
Also, be careful using the hardened flag without running the hardened
profile. The hardened profile masks out a couple of packages and flags
that don't work so well on a hardened system.
BTW, the flags with underscores in them (kernel_linux, userland_GNU,
elibc_glibc, video_cards_radeon and such) are known as USE_EXPAND or
expanded USE flags. VIDEO_CARDS and ALSA_CARDS are a couple you may be
familiar with - when they're set in make.conf, emerge expands them
automatically, so e.g. VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" gets expanded to
USE="video_cards_radeon". KERNEL, USERLAND, and ELIBC are there for the
use of packages that work differently on different systems -
Gentoo/FreeBSD, Gentoo/OSX, and such - and should *only* be set by your
profile.
Hope I've helped. :)
