9 I'd be very interested in people's thoughts on this. The more I think about
10 it, the more I think it's the most appropriate solution. Nothing in
11 FEATURES="noman nodoc noinfo test" affects portage whatsoever other than
12 "noinfo" which (only recently) prevents emerge from regenerating info
13 indexes. That one could be handled by a hook (although not yet available) and
14 the rest could easily be switched to USE flags.
