And now I'm going to reverse my original vote. The only packages that
have the `dri' USE flag are in the x11-{drivers,libs} categories. As
such, it doesn't matter very much whether or not `dri' is in the base
profile. Better to leave it than remove it seeing as Chí-Thanh says,
it will have less of an impact on the users.
