We agree on that. If making GTK optional for your package is too much |
| 12 |
trouble, then don't make it optional. The problem is only when the |
| 13 |
maintainer does make it optional, and then defaults it on in every |
| 14 |
profile using IUSE defaults. Most "give the user a typical system" USE |
| 15 |
defaults belong in a desktop or server profile, not in the base. |
