There is something very *much* wrong with that. |

|
| 8 |
1) It's trivial to enforce -Werror via the packages.env mechanism on specific |
| 9 |
packages (e.g. those that you maintain). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
2) Compared to that, an additional useflag introduces a lot of unnecessary |
| 12 |
overhead at the package manager level *and* requires yet another level of |
| 13 |
policies and Gentoo-specific definitions. |
