Hi all: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've read on the planet the recently included support to document USE |
| 4 |
flags in metadata. Seems like it was an idea from flameeyes and cardoe, |
| 5 |
discussed on the planet [1][2] and performed by -infra (bug #199788). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
While planet is a good medium to share ideas and get contributors, seems to |
| 8 |
me like we need a more official way to discuss this kind of 'global' |
| 9 |
ideas before make them real. Or at least drop a note on -dev-announce |
| 10 |
explaining the new feature and telling devs and users this is now |
| 11 |
officially supported. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I'm not asking for an extra overhead of 'bureaucracy' (write specs, |
| 14 |
mailling @dev, send to the council, etc.) but a bit more of communication |
| 15 |
would be appreciated: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Is the feature ready to be used? Is there any kind of documentation |
| 18 |
(aside of DTD)? It will replace use.desc? |
| 19 |
|

Thanks. |
