A USEflag minimal (or no_default_apps) ?

ls /etc/xinetd.d/
chargen-stream  daytime-stream  discard-stream  echo-stream  tcpmux-server  time-dgram
chargen-dgram  daytime-dgram   discard-dgram   echo-dgram    time-stream

ls /etc/xinetd.d/

The services are NOT turned on by default.
# egrep -L 'disable.*NO' /etc/xinetd.d/*
(nothing)
Comment 2 montjoie 2009-06-09 07:12:27 UTC 
So why install them ?
Do you know anyone who use chargen, discard echo etc... ?

Why do not do a USE flag for them ? (for people who want/dont want useless services)
