Well I have no problem with changing it again, but our user base might
get a little tired. At least we should put a lot of information out
about the change before going forward with it. We currently still have
the mozilla use flags in the ebuilds and I would not like to see three
different use flags for browser plugins in the ebuilds. Something like a
USE flag move would be a nice feature for portage (to update
/etc/portage/package.use).
