5 So, my patch (even though it works) puts these flags into an IUSE_EXPAND
6 variable and would require an upgrade on the CVS server to get correct cache
7 generation for users.

9 What are the exact reasons for not wanting to put the expanded flags directly
10 into IUSE? If it's just a matter of the horrid display existing tools would
11 give, the functionality can go in and IUSE updated after the functional
12 versions are stabled. Are there any reasons beyond that?
