Which, again, is a future thing, since it requires additional per-ebuild |

information about how use flags are used to be implementable. |

Labels are already documented and discussable in the appropriate place. |

This is not supposed to be a discussion about future direction. It's |
| 17 |
supposed to be about one specific issue regarding how we word things for |
| 18 |
current implementations. The two wordings in the original email do not |
| 19 |
have equivalent implications, and selecting the correct one affects |
| 20 |
whether certain problems are solvable. Let's discuss that, not what |
| 21 |
we're going to do six years from now. |
