The smp USE flag controls only whether a configuration knob appears in Edit -> Preferences -> Environment -> "Number of _threads to use". There's no value to offering the ability to disable this configuration knob, and it causes users to have to add USE=smp to make.conf or package.use. Please remove. (Should be removed from upstream as well, IMO, but that's not your job to do :)

Thank you for documenting the USE flag, Matt. I thought multi-core support with GIMP 2.10.8 had a bug, but this is all over a config knob. All the best!
