Can I just ask, since when is this "feature" on? I have never run into it...
Or is it because I always had:
USE="-* ${MY_USE}"
in /etc/make.conf?
Is "-*" counted as preference? I thought that is ignoring just the ones in
the profile ("just" is plain wrong, as I didn't even feel there were other
useflags :-)
