This was the subject of extensive discussion and a council decision. |

The rationale for not configuring the installing of small files via a |
| 8 |
USE flag is that it would greatly increase the number of packages that |
| 9 |
would depend on that flag, and then when a user swtiches their |
| 10 |
configuration they're rebuilding half their system just for the sake |
| 11 |
of a few dozen single-inode files. |

If people want to set install masks they can. However, this will come |
| 14 |
at the cost of having to rebuild half your system later if you change |
| 15 |
your mind. |
