| If the effect of the USE flag upon pkg-one is substantially |
| 11 |
| different from the effect it has upon pkg-two, then the flag is not |
| 12 |
| a suitable candidate for being made a global flag. In particular, |
| 13 |
| note that if client and server USE flags are ever introduced, they |
| 14 |
| can not be global USE flags for this reason. |
