The merits of the usr-merge notwithstanding, this does make more sense |
| 7 |
if the plan is to eventually drop the flag entirely. |

I understand saying "you're on your own" to people who set USE="-*", but |
| 23 |
in practice it's the best-supported way to turn off the |
| 24 |
constantly-changing set of maintainers' pet IUSE defaults. I suppose we |
| 25 |
can at least agree that some people do it. If there's a way to proceed |
| 26 |
that doesn't break their systems by surprise one morning, it'd be the |
| 27 |
polite thing to do. |
