I agree with your points, my point is that it seems most of the time, |
| 30 |
both use flags are used in place of smartcard (or another name if this |
| 31 |
one does not fit in your opinion). |

|
| 33 |
According to local description, app-mobilephone/gnoki, net- |
| 34 |
libs/libosmocore and net-misc/rdesktop at least should be using |
| 35 |
USE=smartcard instead of USE=pcsc-lite |
