What is the purpose? Sticky USE flags would make all this unneccesary... |

I believe one can use package.mask to mask all versions of the package except |
| 16 |
that one. |

See package.mask... |

Yay. It would be nice if we could tell it to reapply USE="foo bar" to the new |
| 29 |
default USE flags, though. |

I think it would be good to get p2pcc working and if neccesary for security |
| 37 |
purposes, default users to only use binaries compiled completely by devs... |

CUPS/KDE make a very nice combination for printers. I don't see a reason to |
| 44 |
break this. If GNOME/XFce/etc do not have decent support, they could/should |
| 45 |
be changed to use CUPS... |
