| 5 | I'm not sure for how much of the IUSE="+foo" cases this applies but I |
| 6 | can explain one of them: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | In xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.6.1-r1 there is +fortune in IUSE |
| 9 | because otherwise previous users of 4.6.1 would be missing the feature |
| 10 | enabled by it. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | If you worry that +foo is becoming a trend _without_ strong reason you |
| 13 | could try enforcing documentation for in metadata.xml (through new tags) |
| 14 | maybe. |
