Is it safe to remove an entry from package.use (in profiles) if the<br>
package has an IUSE default for the respective flag?<br>
<br>
To be more concrete, Emacs ebuilds have IUSE=&quot;+xpm&quot; now, but we still<br>
have an entry &quot;app-editors/emacs xpm&quot; in profiles/base/package.use<br>
which I would like to remove. As I understand it, the two methods are<br>
adjacent in USE ordering, so nothing should change for users?<br>
