To facilitate "enterprise" usage, we break up the releases into a
"desktop" and "server" set. This means the current
"default-linux/$arch/2006.0" profile would be
"default-linux/$arch/2006.0/desktop" with a
"default-linux/$arch/2006.0/server" profile, also. The stages would be
built against the "default-linux/$arch/2006.0" profile, which would have
any USE, etc. that are common between desktop and server. During
installation, the user can choose to use either the desktop or server
profiles, or stay with the more "generic" 2006.0 profile (good for
developers, etc. that might need components of both, or want a more
minimal default set of USE flags). The desktop and server profiles will
have a defined set of default USE flags that will benefit the most
people, similar to how the current profiles are designed to be "desktop"
profiles, to benefit the most people.
Oh yea, I know how it would fit with GLEP 19 nicely, but I think you
might want to make it a seperate issue.
