Yep. Same as enabling the optional emboss support. If you're arguing, that some settings lead to bloated systems, then /NO/ USE flag at all should be enabled. If you're arguing, that "most sensible behaviour is to enable it by default", then /EVERY/ USE flag should be enabled by default. Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
