21 As far as I can tell, ufed doesn't support /etc/portage/package.use.
22 I'd personally prefer to set most of my USE flags on a per-package
23 basis. If ufed supported that, it would probably be much more appealing
24 to me. Anyone know if there's plans for adding that functionality to
25 ufed? I might do it myself, but if someone has/is planning to, I'd just
26 as soon not reinvent the wheel.
