Nah, i think it is outside the scope of what portage is supposed to |

handle. |

Education would be needed, that is no reason to add it (this is still a |
21 |
TODO since the introduction of separate gst plug-ins). The fact is you |
22 |
don't need the plug-in to build or use both applications without |
23 |
problems, you should compare it to xmms plug-ins really. |

|
25 |
In these specific cases i can see why a use flagged dep would be |
26 |
arguable a reasonable addition, but essentially the applications do not |
27 |
have to limit their in or output plug-ins. Where do you stop adding new |
28 |
unnecessary use flags for non-essential plug-ins ? I'd say stop right |
29 |
now. |
