The flag also pulls in additional dependencies for some ebuilds. |

So I wonder how it could be made unconditional? For example, |
| 13 |
app-admin/eselect[vim-syntax] depends on app-vim/eselect-syntax |
| 14 |
which in turn will pull in vim or gvim. Certainly not all users would |
| 15 |
want that? |

|

Similarly, if we get rid of the vim-syntax flag, should we phase out |
| 18 |
the emacs USE flag, too? |
