This _is_ the point of that variable, is it not, or am i missing something crucial?
Seeing that the USE-variable is among the first things you set up on a new system, i don't see what the problem is really. If you want it, you add it, and it's there forever and ever. As for not being default, no Gentoo-system is default or standard and that's the whole point of it, and i for one like my default ebuilds to be minimal so i can add only the stuff i want.

Subject: little crusade for Gentoo to compile with InnoDB
Hi all,
Many users run into the problem that on Gentoo, InnoDB is disabled. It's not even compiled in. So, no transactions, no foreign keys. Unless you recompile.
Someone reported it as a Gentoo bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44592 It was closed as "Won't Fix" and the argument was "USE=innodb greatly increases the MySQL compile time. So for those that don't want it, I see no reason to include it."
I added a kind note asking for this to be changed/fixed. If you're a Gentoo user, please add your vote to this. And please encourage other Gentoo users to do likewise. Thanks!
Regards,
Arjen.
