Remember that we can also modify USE_ORDER to specifically drop profile |
| 18 |
flags *or* package-default flags, but not necessarily both. Maybe this is |
| 19 |
something that should be brought "above the table" and documented. It's a |
| 20 |
lot harder to shoot yourself in the foot by just dropping profile flags, |
| 21 |
but keeping package defaults. |

Of course, that adds another factor to the USE=dri in profile versus |
| 24 |
package-default discussion, too. |
