I agree with your suggestion but I would prefer the Remi's approach of |
| 28 |
letting people to know if they want "ffmpeg" or "libav", otherwise it is |
| 29 |
not so obvious to know what disabling/enabling one of that USE flags |
| 30 |
will end up causing without reading each ebuild :/ (also, maybe some |
| 31 |
ebuilds will use one logic while others the inverse) |
