Hey, look! I'm talking to myself! |

After the first few replies, I decided to modify my proposal. Since USE |
| 13 |
flags *enable* things when present, it seems inapropos to create one which |
| 14 |
*disables* something. Mad props (or something equivalent) to the portage |
| 15 |
devs for remaining consistent in this regard. Therefore, I now propose |
| 16 |
the USE flag 'stddoc', which will be enabled in the profiles. Emerging |
| 17 |
a package with 'USE=-stddoc' will disable the normal documentation. |
