10 No, it doesn't *need* it-- but do you see that +eds with a star? That's
11 the new USE flag which pulls in evo data server if set.
12
13 So unset it if you don't want eds.
14
15 USE flags are *optional*. GAIM can use eds if that would be somehow
16 useful to any given user, but it doesn't have to, if you don't want it.
17
18 As soon as I saw this new flag (you know it's new because it's green and
19 it has a star), I immediately put -eds in /etc/make.conf (because I have
20 no use for eds, so I didn't need to disable it by package. But that's an
21 option too, if you want eds for some things, but not others).
