9 Buzzwords like "Stupid,INSANE,crap,bitching" beside: There are projects
10 which need these combinations of USE flags like Releng. They are
11 currently used to create the GRP set, and I don't see them growing
12 useless for us. Further on, the default flags are only a proposal.
13 Nobody forces you to use them...

21 Full ACK

23 | oh, I also forgot to bitch about "fortran" as the crowd in #-dev pointed
24 This has a purpose: There are a lot of packages in the tree which need a
25 proper FORTRAN compiler installed (not f2c). Without the default fortran
26 USE flag, people who use the GRP wouldn't be able to emerge them w/o
27 recompiling gcc.

29 As soon as USE based atoms are available, the Scientific Project will
30 discuss removing "fortran" from the default USE.
