local use flags it's up to each developer to be good about it ... in your |

in the case of global use addition, it must first go through at least |

gentoo-dev for discussion to make sure it hasnt come up before, or maybe |
| 14 |

in either case, when a flag is added, it has to be nicely described in the |
| 17 |
appropidate file (/usr/portage/profiles/{use.desc,use.local.desc}) |
