I don't see how moving USE flag descriptions from portage tree in HOWTOs |
| 10 |
will help community. This will just take more time to check what USE |
| 11 |
flag does. Also it's clear that maintaining another 10 guides will just |
| 12 |
slow things down with no real benefit. |

We can add global 'server' USE flag and still keep local USE flag |
| 19 |
descriptions where they make global description a bit more clear. And if |
| 20 |
I understood your last message correctly, in case you want to update USE |
| 21 |
flag descriptions yourself, please, don't touch USE flag descriptions |
| 22 |
but open bugs for maintainers to decide. |
