8 If you don't want it exposed to users, then use a USE_EXPAND variable.
9 Like zmedico said in EAPI 3 a normal use flag could be hidden but
10 probably better to not have to migrate everything with prefix support to
11 EAPI 3. Out of the existing USE_EXPAND variables USERLAND makes most
12 sense to me but we could also introduce a new one too.
