That's probably best. As with most ebuilds, it's an optional extra, not
a requirement to the installation. If you're simply looking to use sudo
to run commands, the default settings are fine. They work for me just
fine :)
Then again, if you decide at a later date you want to add that feature,
there's nothing stopping you adding the flag and re-compiling the code
with skey support.

"About a year ago I was a guest on a network news show in New York.
They were showing film clips from a gay pride parade down Fifth
Avenue, but they only decided to show the part with men in dresses
and heels. I had seen the parade, and there were men in business
suits as well. After showing the film, the newsperson made some
comments, and I found the comments extremely offensive."
"This is what's wrong with the media," I said. "You show a fringe
position. You show one point of view. You're closing the minds of
the people by not showing them what the reality is." I got up and
walked out, and I've never been asked back again."
