What will happen to the USE flags currently in use.defaults when this |
| 8 |
is removed? Perhaps some of them be moved to the profiles instead? |

I'm mostly concerned about the 'udev' USE flag. Some packages rely on |
| 11 |
this to be able to function correctly on an udev enabled system. |
| 12 |
Since udev seems to be the default choice for our default-linux |
| 13 |
profiles, it would make sense to also set USE=udev in those profiles? |
| 14 |

Apart from that, no objections from me - auto-use can be rather |
| 16 |
confusing at times. |
