13 I would second USE=info. I use info pages not infrequently, and it's
14 irritating when I'm on an unfamiliar system or distro, discover manpages
15 are present (but info pages aren't), and can't find the easy path
16 forward to get them installed.

18 USE=info would be superb, in that sense. USE=doc would be fine, too, IMHO.
