17 Both I could see, but the original request for this was more along the
18 lines of nocxx for gcc- conditionals at the package level enabled by
19 default avoiding the no* conditionals instead.

21 Thats not really a profile specific thing- more importantly, it binds
22 the packages to the profiles that much tigher, screwing over
23 overlays.

25 Profile level without package level kind of crappily addresses the
26 original request imo- yes it works, but not all that well imo.
