Gentoo is about choice. Well, except for the choice to not have to |

I don't see why having some nice polished sets of use flags is a bad |
| 11 |
thing. Personally, I find it a pain when I've emerged half of my system |
| 12 |
only to find out I left out some critical use flag (my use flags take up |
| 13 |
several lines now). Sure, leave users a choice, but there is no harm in |
| 14 |
giving them some pointers. |

Gentoo should be fully usable in a USE="" state, but that doesn't mean |
| 17 |
that we need to make users start out from this point. |
