Well, we don't add local USE flags to the default profiles unless there |
| 14 |
is a *very* good reason. I really don't have a problem with any of |
| 15 |
these being added, but I'd rather hear the opinions of my peers. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Also, if these *were* to get added, they wouldn't be added to the 2007.0 |
| 18 |
profiles and would wait for 2007.1's profiles, which we should be |
| 19 |
starting up some time soon. I usually ask for these sorts of |
| 20 |
suggestions over on the gentoo-releng mailing list near the beginning of |
| 21 |
our release cycle. |

These aren't going anywhere so long as they're needed for proper Active |
| 32 |
Directory connectivity. I added them for a reason and don't really |
| 33 |
intend on removing them. As I said, I consider the ability to |
| 34 |
intercommunicate with Active Directory to be a *vital* capability for a |
| 35 |
desktop... any desktop. |
