USE=(man|info|doc) wont quite work. |

While they could have an advantage that you can use them to control |
| 21 |
depend strings the doc use flag has already been heavily used for other |
| 22 |
things which everybody surely wont want. by default only level of |
| 23 |
profiles should be using these features and it uses it because it needs |
| 24 |
it or things fail to build. I could bore you with how sandbox and groff |
| 25 |
don't get along and this functionality is a must. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I don't see any immediate benefits in removal so I'd rather we put off |
| 28 |
discussions of the removal of those 3 features till we are closer to the |
| 29 |
2006.0 release cycle. portage-2.0.5(4|5) days. Unless you want to |
| 30 |
discuss SpanKY idea of use expanding FEATURES which clearly seems the |
| 31 |
winner in desired functionality (my eyes anyway) |
