Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
i would like to start a discussion about reducing the amount of default-enabled USE flags in |
4 |
profiles, especially in inherited basic profiles. |
5 |
|
6 |
Is there any policy, when they are added, how the reason for addition is documented and when they |
7 |
are removed from profiles? |
8 |
|
9 |
In addition, i see a trend to enabled more more more USE flags (either over profiles or via IUSE |
10 |
+flag). Whats the reason for forcing a big load of default enabled USE flags on every user including |
11 |
more dependencies, more compile time, more wasted disk space and more possible vulnerabilities |
12 |
except some users, who complain about a missing feature and are not able to think and enable a USE |
13 |
flag for that feature? |
