Let me rephrase that: Experience led me to 'FEATURE="test"' implies |
| 12 |
'USE="test"' regardless of whether "test" is in IUSE or not. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Further, if I'm adding FEATURE="test", why wouldn't I also want |
| 15 |
USE="test". |

Not need. Apparently supposed to have done that, though. As I said, it |
| 24 |
has been working without it for years and only stopped when I used EAPI5. |

"test" being in IUSE becomes moot. It wouldn't much matter whether |
| 31 |
it's there or it isn't. |

IUSE_EFFECTIVE is probably better. |
