Gentoo needs more descriptive comments for Uflags. Many times you see |

something like this: |

|
| 11 |
# emerge -pv package |
| 12 |
[ebuild N ] cat/package-0.1 -flag1 -whatever1 +whatever2 23 kB |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And when you go to use.local.desc all you see is: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
cat/package:flag1 - enables flag1 compilation/support |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It doesn't say what flag1 is good for! So you end up Googleing, etc... |
