8 If you're sure you know it's not needed, just edit
9 /var/db/pkg/$cat/$pkg/{USE,IUSE} to reflect that (i.e. if there was arts
10 flag removed and you know the ebuild didn't actually need/use it, remove
11 it from IUSE, and possibly USE) and --newuse won't trigger no more.
12 It's a bit of hack, but works, for user it's the same amount of work as
13 editing some newuse.mask file, for portage developers it's no work :)
