Personally I prefer it on by default to get the USB modems to work by default instead of people connecting them to get internet and realizing at that moment that they need to enable this. I don't think the dependency is so bug and people wanting a more minimal setup can still disable it I don't mind having it off by default. I consider modems plugged in computers an exception rather than a norm and Gentoo users should get through wiki most likely to get it to work as it requires kernel support to start with anyway.

The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=8bf8909aaad6082961476b080048def3199d1836 commit 8bf8909aaad6082961476b080048def3199d1836 Author: Mart Raudsepp <leio@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2018-11-24 14:44:57 +0000 Commit: Mart Raudsepp <leio@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2018-11-24 14:44:57 +0000 app-misc/geoclue: bump to 2.4.13; now autostarts an agent Upstream now builds and installs a demo-agent by default, which is autostarted for all desktops besides GNOME (which has its own agent already). This is what makes geoclue actually useful, so not USE flagging this for now at least. Also don't enable modemmanager USE by default.
