14 Yeah, and there's no reason for user to see USE_EXPAND QA notice crap,

18 You are trying to solve something that noone ever complained about. Why not
19 rather solve stuff like ebuilds that depend unconditionally on arts, but
20 because they inherit kde eclass they get bogus arts use flag from the
21 eclass. This is an issue that's truly confusing and that people are filing
22 bugs about. There's the difference between doing something useful and
23 wasting time on an artificially invented issue.
