The "session" USE flag has been enabled by default for all linux |
| 2 |
profiles in default/linux/make.defaults since 2010. According to the |
| 3 |
comment in that file, the flag was added for dev-lang/php where |
| 4 |
session support is near-critical. But, now that we have an IUSE |
| 5 |
default, the global setting is redundant. |

|

This commit drops USE=session from the default/linux profile's |
| 8 |
make.defaults, and also drops the (now unnecessary) override of that |
| 9 |
flag in the features/hardened profile's make.defaults. |
| 10 |

A few other packages with "session" in IUSE will be affected by this |
| 12 |
change; however, the meaning of "session" varies wildly between the |
| 13 |
packages that use it. Since the meaning of "session" is dependent on |
| 14 |
the package in question, within the package itself (that is, with IUSE |
| 15 |
defaults) is a better place to enable this flag by default. |
