Incremental steps are better then one huge sweeping change. It'll allow |
| 25 |
us to evaluate the needs and goals of the project as we move forward. |

The big concern with dropping use.desc is that multiple USE flags that |
| 27 |
do the same thing will start to pop up across the whole tree because |
| 28 |
developers won't know that a USE flag already exists for feature X. |
