That's a good way of looking at it. |

Most USE flags are not set by the user by by the profile. By selecting a |
| 9 |
particular profile you are telling portage to set up suitable defaults |
| 10 |
for, say, a KDE desktop. Portage should be able to continue to manage |
| 11 |
that situation and, if a different USE setting is required for a |
| 12 |
particular situation, and nothing in the user's own settings overrides |
| 13 |
it, portage should be able to take the appropriate action. |

The other way of looking at it, from this particular situation, is that |
| 16 |
maybe he USE system is being forced to take care of more than it was |
| 17 |
supposed to. Should ABI_* settings even be part of USE? |
