why do minorities rule? |

Actually i agree that in general use flags should have a consistent meaning. |
| 9 |
But anyway, if "perl" adds support for perl, the user might want to know |
| 10 |
what it is good for in this package. or "plugins" could list the plugins |
| 11 |
that would be added. |
| 12 |

What tool ever would display the use flags description, it could use |
| 14 |
those from |
| 15 |
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc by default, which may be overwriten in |
| 16 |
metadata.xml |
