22 The package defaults have gotten out of hand, in my opinion. I use
23 default/linux/amd64/10.0 on all my machines and my
24 /etc/portage/package.use directories have dozens of -flag entries for
25 packages with ridiculous defaults, and almost none that come from the
26 profile. I'm considering removing pkginternal from USE_ORDER.
