8 If it's going to be kept around, then please get rid of the warning in
9 ebuilds. I'm one of the few people who checks /var/log/portage/elog
10 regularly. The server profile is useless because it pollutes
11 /var/log/portage/elog with a warning that this profile is unmaintained...
12 ***ONCE FOR EVERY LAST SINGLE PACKAGE YOU BUILD***. If you want a light
13 profile, I suggest doing what I do... start your USE variable in
14 make.conf with "-*", and add any flags you need, either in package.use or
15 in make.conf.
