I tend to agree. I would rather see profile defaults here instead of IUSE forcing on introspection at the package level. Remember that udev supports introspection, so if I put IUSE="+introspection" in the udev ebuild, every system that has udev will have introspection turned on by default unless users disable it. Also, I see that dev-libs/glib wwants to force introspection onto my system. I do not use gnome, so I don't know why I need introspection. Nirbheek/gnome team: Please reconsider this and consider making introspection a profile default instead. Thanks, William
