The profiles change over time. Currently, when the profiles change, the |
| 18 |
only thing that has to be checked for conflicting USE behaviour is |
| 19 |
subprofiles. With IUSE defaults, the person making the change will also |
| 20 |
have to do a sanity check over the entire tree. |

Is that spelt out enough for you, or do you need it dumbed down even |
| 23 |
more? |
