22 Please don't.
23 Instead of having an ever larger collection of default use flags in the
24 desktop profile, we should be taking advantage of EAPI-1 IUSE defaults
25 and EAPI-2 use dependencies.
26 The reason I use the 2008.0 profile and not the desktop profile is the
27 large number of USE flags enabled in the desktop profile.
28 Does everyone using the desktop profile really need all of the following?
29
30 USE="acpi alsa branding cairo cdr dbus dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss
31 encode esd evo fam firefox gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal jpeg kde ldap
32 libnotify mad mikmod mp3 mpeg ogg opengl pdf png ppds qt3 qt3support qt4
33 quicktime sdl spell svg tiff truetype vorbis win32codecs unicode usb X
34 xml xulrunner xv"
35
36 Perhaps it's time we have a "thorough look" at the default USE flags for
37 the desktop profile. Putting my KDE hat on, I'd say most of the KDE
38 related use flags should probably be dropped and be left to the user or
39 the ebuilds.
