14 But what is the target group of this profile? It sets only 6 USE flags
15 that are really useless on half of servers (e.g. VPN/mail server). I'd
16 better set only -perl -python there to make servers less dependent on
17 python/perl updaters and decrease rebuilds for servers. Also it's good
18 idea to make them hardened only as hardened works very well for
19 servers.
