Not really, since the retarded handling of those use flags combos in |
| 18 |
ebuilds has been one of the key reasons to deprecate this. Also, this is |
| 19 |
rather funny why xml2 use flags needs to be removed (it was you who |
| 20 |
suggested that) - yet you resist to get rid of gtk2 use flag, which is |
| 21 |
*way* more confusing (heck, look at that old wxGTK stuff, it's nasty and |
| 22 |
confusing like hell). |

I'd like to note that all bugs complaining about gtk2 getting pulled in |
| 25 |
with USE="-gtk2" as being marked as dupe of that deprecation bug, not |
| 26 |
really sure how are you going to explain to the users that there are |
| 27 |
exceptions to this rule. |
