9 Yes, complitely agree. This way reqiure to make some changes to portage
10 system. If someone want to implement it. But this way of course much
11 better. Here I agree for 100%.
12 I just use USE flags as some kind of quasi sollution for now. Without
13 changing something in portage. Of course if it will be accepted, it is
14 much better to implement it into more clean way.
