6 What about people who like to install both gnome and kde on their
7 systems? (Perhaps different users on the computer use different DEs)
8 It probably won't be a problem in the short term (people can just
9 select one profile and add the missing USE-flags to make.conf). But it
10 /might/ get unwieldy in the future if more USE-flags and USE_EXPAND-ed
11 variables make their way into the DE-specific profiles.

13 Since multiple inheritance is not worth the work, I would suggest each
14 project team maintain some minimal documentation in their doc space
15 about the USE-flags and USE_EXPAND-ed variables enabled in each
16 profile.
