15 Because they specify in more details what the USE flag does
16 specifically, in the context of that package.
17 Such more exact local descriptions are something I at least personally
18 strongly advocate in favour of.
19 app-misc/vifm local desc seems redundant though, but the rest listed
20 here seem useful and necessary.
