Would like to first thank Carsten Lohrke, Carlo, for helping me find the exact location of the mysterious appearance of eds to a on default status.
*story time* After a recent emerge sync, I came face to face with quite a pecular list of packages that wanted to be installed. As I have -gnome in my make.conf it just was confusing. Until I did a emerge -avuDt world. I noticed that gaim had turned up with a eds use flag. Evolution Data server seems like something that should not be in the base/use.defaults, at least as far as I can tell. Anything that can of course make use of eds, will require the new packages as dependencies. For those not using gnome, this can be a bit of a pain to hunt down and see what is going on. Course we all know that a simple -eds will fix the problem, I guess I'm just looking for a why it was enabled by default?
