20 There is nowhere else to put it. It was suggested on bugs to put a new
21 directory in $PORTDIR/metadata/desc/ and have the $USE_EXPAND.desc files
22 in there for portage/repoman to read in. I don't have a problem with
23 doing that but would like feedback on it before jumping right in.

25 Obviously the QA team should be aware of the issue with USE_EXPAND and IUSE.

27 I don't want to rush this, is my point ;)
