1 Your `ipv6` USE flag hits home - I don't use IPv6, nor do I want to have
2 IPv6 support built into things (just another potential "thing" that I have
3 to secure, or errors/warnings I need to suppress since I run an IPv6-less
4 kernel).

6 If there needs to be a path to culling USE flags, perhaps looking to which
7 flags actually cause packages to pull in additional dependencies (vs solely
8 enable/disable a feature) would be a better place to start?
