i dont really see the profiles getting any more USE flags than they already have ... as for bloated, i see it as being a more-than-worth-it trade off when it comes to stability a profile-based USE will always stay the same while a autouse-based USE may fluctuate greatly based upon what the user emerges from day to day > The autouse itself is not a bad feature or idea if it were used properly. there is no used properly or improperly when it comes to use.defaults -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
