9 I'm sorry, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. use.defaults hasn't been
10 deprecated. The January GWN [1] specified this much more clearly. Also
11 checking out the use.defaults files won't tell you what was turned off unless
12 you have an old version to diff it against. 'emerge -uvpDN world' will,
13 however.
