Which then raises the question of whether or not -* in a users USE |
| 14 |
should disable it. |
| 15 |
I say no, since -* is mainly for killing off auto-use crap and |
| 16 |
profiles. |

Note that explicitly disabling a flag (-client fex) would disable the |
| 19 |
default use there; question is whether or not some form of -* should |
| 20 |
exist for default IUSE; the existing -* is profile/autouse specific, |
| 21 |
and sholdn't be reused for disabling default IUSE imo. |
