In this case, you are wrong. These USE flags are not doing what they |
| 18 |
are intended to do because of eds. If a user explicitly sets -gtk |
| 19 |
-gnome, and gnome *still* is pulled in because of eds in the default |
| 20 |
profile, this is broken behavior. I also suspect that "every 3rd gnome |
| 21 |
user" is a minority compared to the number of folks who are affected by |
| 22 |
forcing eds. |
