In this case you just wouldn't enable python 2.7 support, but you |
| 9 |
wouldn't disable it either. Portage would just pull it in where it is |
| 10 |
needed. |

Ditto for stuff like 32-bit support for half the libraries on your |
| 13 |
system when you're using something like wine. Just don't set the flag |
| 14 |
except explicitly if you actually need it somewhere, and it will get |
| 15 |
pulled in where it is needed, and go away when it is no longer needed. |

The idea is that USE flags would behave the same way as |
| 18 |
package-versions. If portage needs it then it gets installed, and |
| 19 |
when it isn't needed it gets depcleaned. |
