No I'm not. I'm saying add them per-package, because it's a better |

design. We have package.use in profiles now, not just IUSE defaults. |

Global defaults have problems: |

* They can't be undone. It's next to impossible for me to undo |

USE=udev when set in a profile that is inherited by all others. |

* USE=udev means different things for different packages. You think it |
| 14 |
"makes udev work" or whatever, but nobody has any idea what it does |
| 15 |
for half of the packages that use it. The meaning is package- |
| 16 |
specific, so the default should be package-specific. |

If you really want to enable it globally after being told that it's bad |
| 22 |
engineering and downright annoying, go do it in a profile that I can |

avoid and not "linux". |
