| 26 |
+<body> |

+<p> |
| 28 |
+Exceptionally, a package may have an unsupported/broken USE flag |
| 29 |
+(this can happen with <e>vanilla</e> or <e>custom-cflags</e>). |
| 30 |
+Then the USE flag must be masked for that ebuild |
| 31 |
+(usually in <e>profiles/base/package.use.mask</e>), |
| 32 |
+at least when the ebuild hits the stable branch. |
