Really, I see -flags in @GROUPS as only being necessary because of |
| 10 |
people using no* flags. *shrug* I don't really like the idea too much |
| 11 |
because of the confusion that it'll no doubt cause, but I'm not against |
| 12 |
sticking them in and telling developers not to use them :) |

Yeah, workable. I bet it'll confuse the hell out of users who do |
| 19 |
USE="@GNOME -@KDE" though, since they'll end up getting USE="-X"... |

Ah, well... Unless someone screams, I'll send out another draft which |
| 22 |
allows -@GROUPS and explains how they work, along with some big fat |
| 23 |
nasty warning about how @GNOME -@KDE doesn't do what you think and a |
| 24 |
requirement that any document that talks about @GROUPS makes this really |
| 25 |
frickin' clear. |

| 28 |

| 29 |
| the rest of it finalized. See how time goes, I guess... |

You aiming for .51 on that? Personally I don't see the LICENCE stuff |
| 32 |
being usable without some form of grouping... |
