Another point of view are servers, where there's simply no need to |
| 11 |
have docs installed on each and every box in a rack. There's no need |
| 12 |
to install what a user doesn't need, and having doc and example USE |
| 13 |
flags more widely supported means that Gentoo does a better job of |
| 14 |
respecting the choice of users. |
