No, that doesn't solve the various dilemmas. Some packages provide both |
| 6 |
gtk1 and gtk2 possibilities (for example app-editors/gvim). Changing |
| 7 |
gtk to gtk1 doesn't answer the question of which to use when USE="gtk1 |
| 8 |
gtk2". With the current flag semantics, confusing as they are, there is |
| 9 |
at least a clear choice in that case. |

Unless better reasoning is given, I think we should stick with gtk/gtk2 |
| 12 |
for USE flags. USE=gtk means to use a gtk interface if possible, either |
| 13 |
gtk1 or gtk2. USE=gtk2 means to prefer gtk2 over gtk1 when there is a |
| 14 |
choice, such as in gvim. This gives the user the most control. |
