I use -* exactly because I /don't/ want to micromanage, and there are far |
| 21 |
too many packages whose maintainers have decided to stick + in IUSE for |
| 22 |
random crap. To wishlist a different feature, it'd be nice to have a |
| 23 |
profile or something that made portage ignore |
| 24 |
IUSE="+maintainers-favorite-flag" so we wouldn't have to use -*... I'll |
| 25 |
happily let portage semi-manage USE for me by auto-enabling USE in |
| 26 |
dependencies if I can set the base USE in the first place without having to |
| 27 |
start off with global negation. |
