4 Hey everybody.

6 I have been thinking about this for the past few days, and haven't
7 been able to come up with an answer to why there isn't a "man" USE
8 flag for people to enable man pages getting installed.
9
10 My idea is to make a global use flag, that are on as default for every
11 profile, and that way give people the choice to disable installation
12 of man pages with packages.
13
14 Not everybody needs the man pages, but installing them as default is
15 good, but currently, there is no way to deselect them.
16
17 What do you think?

19 Thanks,
