We went over this already. We can't have client and server USE flags |
| 10 |
because the meaning is totally different for every package. Plus the |

'probably' really isn't good enough, since there are some packages that |

have more specific dependency and the current "die in pkg_setup" stuff |
| 13 |
is a real pain -- do we really want to see that becoming a regular |
| 14 |
occurrence? |
