I already have mine set that way. I also try to watch for the changes but sometimes the way the lines wrap I may miss one here and there. That has bit me a couple times. I sort of expect USE flags to stay the same for the most part. Profile changes are expected to change things but I rarely change those. I mentioned this once a long time ago. We expect things to stay the same unless we do something to change them. If things change without us doing the change, we tend to freak out a bit. We don't need any freaking out.
