I 100% agree with you! This is something what is always pissing me off |
16 |
when reading equery uses foo to find out how to set flags. |
17 |
|
18 |
I'm actually describing even global USE flags in my package's |
19 |
metadata.xml if their purpose might not be clear and I'd like to expect |
20 |
that from others. It is not a problem to write one sentence for each |
21 |
flag while you already know what flag does. |
22 |
|
23 |
Maybe it should even become our policy and not just recommendation? |
