I think so too. There should be some sort of consensus, at least among
the developers (I think most, that I've come across, are reasonable and
listen to us users) before they do something like this... In a sense,
removing options (USE) at the sole discretion of the developer will make
Gentoo look like any other Linux distro. Options that the user can
decide is what makes Gentoo unique.
