Subject: [gentoo-dev] vim-syntax USE flag

1 Packages currently handle installation of vim syntax support files
2 inconsistently. Some builds install the files if the "vim-syntax" USE
3 flag is enabled, while others install them unconditionally.
4
5 Do these files fall into the "small text files" category for
6 unconditional installation? If so, we should probably phase out the
7 vim-syntax USE flag.
8
9 If we want to keep the USE flag, I would suggest documenting a global
10 policy regarding its use. Should that live in the devmanual? Or maybe
11 the Vim project page?
