Because package.use is implemented in a very different way then |
| 9 |
package.mask and currently isn't stackable at all. Adding a |
| 10 |
profiles/package.use that could be overridden by make.conf would require |
| 11 |
some nasty special casing in portage, and as we all know special case |
| 12 |
code is something that should be avoided. Besides that, there would also |
| 13 |
be the question about USE=-*, should this kill profiles/package.use |
| 14 |
completely? |
| 15 |
Short version: Implementation and semantics of profiles/package.use |
| 16 |
isn't much easier than extending IUSE. |
