The 3 no* features in question. Removing just one would be silly. So |
| 30 |
they either all should go or all stay. If noman were to become USE=man |
| 31 |
then logic would say that nodoc would become USE=doc and noinfo would |
| 32 |
become USE=info. Unless we want to call them |
| 33 |
USE=(docpages|manpages|infopages) all respectively then it wont matter |
| 34 |
so much. But then USE=-* emerge foo would all of the sudden make USE=-* |
| 35 |
kinda suck for users who just want to escape the normal default-linux |
| 36 |
USE flag bloat. |
