Yes, too many options cause exponential probabilities that something will 
break.  However, sane defaults by ebuild devs should get expected results.

Other than a buggy ebuild, there are always over-zealous users who tweak their 
options to destruction, but they soon learn that they get to keep both pieces.  
Those who stay with Gentoo and intentionally change their flags also learn how 
to fix what they borked.  So they can be safely ignored.  ;-)
