It it isn't necessary for a system to have support for either oldnet |
| 9 |
or newnet. Sure, it is rare these days, but networking support should |
| 10 |
be a default, not a requirement. |

The USE default seems pretty reasonable to me. By all means use an |
| 13 |
ewarn when neither is set, but it shouldn't be an error. If we must, |
| 14 |
a news item might help, but I think that is pushing it. A better news |
| 15 |
item would be explaining the perils of USE=-*. |
