Your `ipv6` USE flag hits home - I don't use IPv6, nor do I want to have

kernel).
If there needs to be a path to culling USE flags, perhaps looking to which
flags actually cause packages to pull in additional dependencies (vs solely
enable/disable a feature) would be a better place to start?
And here I am having a deja vu, an associate of mine who happens to use
Gentoo also intentionally runs without IPv6. When we were traveling out
of country he was unable to use WIFI hotspot that I was connected to,
turns out, it was IPv6-only hotspot with NAT64 gateway. I had internet
access, he had rant about why IPv6-only networks are abomination and
that he never seen a network like it.
He won nothing, and neither do you win anything running without IPv6
support.
