My catalyst spec files all have use: -* foo bar x y z |
| 6 |
specifically because the defaults are never what I want for any given |
| 7 |
system. I build desktops, servers, containers, VM appliance images and |
| 8 |
embedded system, and I know what I want in each one. Especially the |
| 9 |
latter frequently have only very few USE flags set and I want zero |
| 10 |
extra dependencies. |

I completely agree that the default USEs should rather be reduced, |
| 13 |
not increased. Isn't this what profile inheritance is for? It would |
| 14 |
be great if I didn't essentially have to create my own profile when I |
| 15 |
want a very minimal system. |

That is the direct opposite of Gentoo's single most core value: choice |
