No thanks. That doesn't match the standard operating procedure |
| 12 |
mentioned above. By default, why don't we just build whatever |
| 13 |
$UPSTREAM intended built by default? |

It means that different packages will behave differently throughout |
| 16 |
the tree, but that's okay, and is more Gentoo-like than your proposal. |

How will you support building the server-only portions of the package? |
| 22 |
I don't want clients I don't need on my servers. "client" and |
| 23 |
"server" USE flags would appear to make much more sense here (for |
| 24 |
packages that have any such clear distinction), and will play better |
| 25 |
when USE-based DEPs become reality. |
