7 I disagree; they are not all profile dependent. The point here being
8 you can argue all your like; it's like me liking pink rather than blue.
9 One cannot really prove one way or another which is "best"; there really
10 isn't a "best" here.

12 At best you can qualify that certain situations favor per-profile
13 default USE and certain situations favor per-ebuild default USE.

15 I don't think the quantity of situations disqualifies having support for
16 both types of defaults however.
