Hi! |

I've been using gentoo exclusively for over 2 years, and saw the number |
| 4 |
of USE-flags growing up to about 530 today. It is becoming more and more |
| 5 |
difficult to find the important and/or interesting ones. |
| 6 |
|

IMHO it would make sense to group them, for example a group "Local |
| 8 |
Flags" would be fine (especially on server where you don't need them), |
| 9 |
or "Hardware related" for supporting special features in this case. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I know this is very rather "blurry" approach, but in the next months |
| 12 |
with upcoming packages the useflaglist will grow up to a thousand |
| 13 |
perhaps .. even more? And checking these takes a lot of time. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
an additional idea for ufed: maybe a "text area" with more lines or even |
| 16 |
a scrolling option would be fine for the explanation of the flags. |
| 17 |
currently 180 char wide terminal is needed to be able to read the |
| 18 |
longest one - and thinking of setting up a server with 80x25 I have to |
| 19 |
guess what flags to take .. |

Just my 2¢ |
