I would say working as intended. If you do not know what a package |
| 6 |
does, chances are you don't need to enable it. And if you do want |
| 7 |
to tinker, USE flags gives you enough of a hint to start googling. |

Having said that, we should at least have gramatically correct |
| 10 |
English in descriptions. One might also lean towards more verbosity |
| 11 |
in end-user oriented packages (versus server/backend/toolchain |
| 12 |
packages). In any case, 10-15 words should be more than enough to |
| 13 |
explain what a USE flag does. |
