14 I already have mine set that way. I also try to watch for the changes
15 but sometimes the way the lines wrap I may miss one here and there.
16 That has bit me a couple times. I sort of expect USE flags to stay the
17 same for the most part. Profile changes are expected to change things

20 I mentioned this once a long time ago. We expect things to stay the
21 same unless we do something to change them. If things change without us
22 doing the change, we tend to freak out a bit. We don't need any
23 freaking out.
