Yes. More specifically, it's adding these defaults without setting |
| 12 |
the flags globally, thereby not introducing system-wide defaults |
| 13 |
across all packages but only those that make sense on a per-package |
| 14 |
basis for that package to operate properly. |

IMO this is the effectively minimal-set of use flags we should have. |
| 17 |
All of these flags can be easily overridden for a more minimalist, and |
| 18 |
IMO they should definitely attempt to avoid any REQUIRED_USE like |
| 19 |
conflicts (that is, two packages collide because their IUSE-defaults |
| 20 |
make dependencies conflict). But no less than that should be what the |
| 21 |
base package provides, IMO. |
