Yes, we need to be careful when using REQUIRED_USE with global USE flags, especially the defaults. If a new user has to spend half an hour trying to figure out the magic combination of USE flags that will allow them to run `emerge @world` on their fresh install they're going to get frustrated and leave. I imagine it would break stage building as well (?) -- fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
