11 Hi,
12 read what Walter written till the very end ;)
13 Problem is not what to *add* to the default profile, but rather that you
14 have to *remove* tons of flags from it to have something compact.
15 As he already mentioned usually USE="-*" is the way to start.

17 There were plans once among the cluster herd's members to write
18 minimalistic profile for hpc server/node and ha cluster that would
19 inherit from a "barebone" server profile. We just never got to it as
20 demand wasn't that high. Maybe it's time to revisit the problem.
