Buzzwords like "Stupid,INSANE,crap,bitching" beside: There are projects
which need these combinations of USE flags like Releng. They are
currently used to create the GRP set, and I don't see them growing
useless for us. Further on, the default flags are only a proposal.
Nobody forces you to use them...

Full ACK

| oh, I also forgot to bitch about "fortran" as the crowd in #-dev pointed
This has a purpose: There are a lot of packages in the tree which need a
proper FORTRAN compiler installed (not f2c). Without the default fortran
USE flag, people who use the GRP wouldn't be able to emerge them w/o
recompiling gcc.

As soon as USE based atoms are available, the Scientific Project will
discuss removing "fortran" from the default USE.
