Sorry to get technical but how difficult is it really to change USE flag |
| 14 |
names? I appreciate that users are out of sync yadda yadda, but could this |

I accept that portage has to maintain compatibility but aiui the old way of |
| 18 |
doing this was simply depending on a version of portage that had the |
| 19 |
capability. Since we're only talking about ~10 packages, is that so much of |
| 20 |
a hardship? |

| 23 |
hyperbole. Do they? |
