Anything that would enable us to document with more than a few words, |
| 7 |
which is what we're practically limited to with the current format of |
| 8 |
use.desc, would help. The currently available documentation on USE |
| 9 |
flags is clearly insufficient, maybe not for you and me and other |
| 10 |
devs, but for the majority of our users. Note that this is not the |
| 11 |
same as optionally adding more specific documentation on a global flag |
| 12 |
in the metadata.xml of a package. |

Good idea. How do you plan to cope with the (currently) local USE flag |
| 17 |
conflicts though ? |
