Yes. |

I'd suggest either (1) a feature (perhaps on by default) to enable |
| 19 |
LINGUAS output, or (2) double-verbose, or (3) perhaps a single linguas USE |
| 20 |
flag that would enable them for that package and thus list them. That |
| 21 |
way, the additional clutter could be turned off, and the USE flag list |
| 22 |
would again be relatively usable. |

Likewise for xorg-x11 and its new VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES, some sort |
| 25 |
of control over whether all that is displayed would be useful. |
