No disagreement in principle, however it might be worth checking which |
| 10 |
of them are practically used at all or could be removed entirely. |

"directfb" caught my attention, which I doubt is very active today. |
| 13 |
Though the package in question - libggi - only uses the directfb flag |
| 14 |
in an old ebuild, the latest one hard-disables directfb. |
| 15 |
So well, if you stabilize libggi-2.2.2-r1 and remove the old ebuild you |
| 16 |
can entirely get rid of this useflag instead of making it local. |

Plausibly there may be other such cases, i.e. flags that were used in |
| 19 |
the past, but for things that got deprecated / out of fashion / are |
| 20 |
practically no longer used. |
