22 What does this mean for users of, say, eudev that needed those flags for
23 certain things (but don't have GNOME installed)? Will it just be a
24 removed entry from package.use and a rebuild? I'm on stable so it'll
25 take a little bit to reach me, but I figured I'd ask on behalf of any
26 other concerned users.
