1 Would like to first thank Carsten Lohrke, Carlo, for helping me find the exact
2 location of the mysterious appearance of eds to a on default status.

4 *story time* After a recent emerge sync, I came face to face with quite a
5 pecular list of packages that wanted to be installed. As I have -gnome in my
6 make.conf it just was confusing. Until I did a emerge -avuDt world. I noticed
7 that gaim had turned up with a eds use flag. Evolution Data server seems like
8 something that should not be in the base/use.defaults, at least as far as I can
9 tell. Anything that can of course make use of eds, will require the new packages
10 as dependencies. For those not using gnome, this can be a bit of a pain to hunt
11 down and see what is going on.

13 Course we all know that a simple -eds will fix the problem, I guess I'm just
14 looking for a why it was enabled by default?
