+<p> |
| 31 |
+Sometimes obsolete USE flags remain in IUSE despite having no function, e.g. a |
| 32 |
+dependency may have become mandatory but the USE flag remains in IUSE and *DEPEND. |
| 33 |
+Similarly, eclasses often become redundant due to changes in the ebuild, or new EAPIs, |
| 34 |
+e.g. <c>eutils.eclass</c> should be obsolete in modern EAPIs. Remember to prune these. |
