Hi, |

i would like to start a discussion about reducing the amount of default-enabled USE flags in |
| 4 |
profiles, especially in inherited basic profiles. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Is there any policy, when they are added, how the reason for addition is documented and when they |
| 7 |
are removed from profiles? |
| 8 |
|

In addition, i see a trend to enabled more more more USE flags (either over profiles or via IUSE |
| 10 |
+flag). Whats the reason for forcing a big load of default enabled USE flags on every user including |
| 11 |
more dependencies, more compile time, more wasted disk space and more possible vulnerabilities |
| 12 |
except some users, who complain about a missing feature and are not able to think and enable a USE |
| 13 |
flag for that feature? |
