That flag is only used by a few sci-biology packages, so if you don't have any |
| 6 |
of those installed, it doesn't matter whether the flag is on or off. IIRC |

the argument for having it on was that the majority of people who /do/ use |
| 8 |
those packages will want it. |

I suppose one could say that it should be set in IUSE or profile package.use |
| 11 |
instead, but IMHO, if there are enough packages using it to justify making it |
| 12 |
a global flag in the first place, and all of them need the same default, it |
| 13 |
makes sense to set the default globally (*cough*ocamlopt*cough*). |
