Sometimes it is not correctly implemented (or its description
is not exact). For example, if you emerge mysql with minimal-flag,
you will get just mysql-client, not server.
But mysql is described as "A fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL
database server" in gentoo package database. And server functionality
can not be imho considered as "some unnecessary feature" for any
server-software (without that it is not server anymore, is it?)...
I do have "minimal" in my global USE flags, but it happened
to me a few times that I had problems because of it and I had
to put "-minimal" for some packages (in packages.use)...
