| 11 | Xorg libraries use USE=doc to control the build (sometimes) and |
| 12 | installation of thousands of developer-documentation man pages. 99.9% |
| 13 | of the time users don't want the developer man pages installed. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | With USE=-doc the packages still install man pages for the |
| 16 | applications, just not the developer documentation man pages. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Is that not reasonable? |
