Seriously? You expect users to figure out [1] what combinations of |
| 10 |
USE flags will work for such an ebuild? |

There are good reasons why the devmanual [2] advises against such |
| 13 |
overuse of REQUIRED_USE: |

| 15 |
| Note: In order to avoid forcing users to micro-manage flags too |
| 16 |
| much, REQUIRED_USE should be used sparingly. Follow the normal |
| 17 |
| policy whenever it is possible to do a build that will presumably |
| 18 |
| suit the user's needs. |
