12 If you have an absolute minimal system, then none of your packages will
13 have the dri flag. So it won't hurt. If you remove the dri flag from the
14 default profile, this will break users' setups for no good reason.

16 Moving to EAPI=1 USE defaults would be an alternative if the dri flag is
17 deemed unacceptable for the default profile, but in my opinion a
18 pointless exercise as it would change precisely zero systems.
