Would it be possible to have all the protocols for net-im/pidgin
turned on by default. We often get people coming to #pidgin looking
for help as to why they can't get MSN or some other protocol working.
It most often is because they haven't enabled the given protocol USE
flag.
There is nothing g
rofile. We could have
extended use flags added that are on by default in the profile.
Though I would think this to be overkill for this problem.

Alright, well I appreciate all the thought and discussion that
exploded about this problem. The pidgin team appreciates it. Though
I'm sorry to say I'm not up to speed with all this Gentoo talk. I
gather that when IUSE defaults come out, the ability to specify
default USE flags on a per package

It would seem there is a good support for a change to enable all
protocols by default. What will change this issue from a good thread
to an action on the package to implement these ideas?
