Not at all. As you see in the answer from Carsten Lohrke on 100872 |
| 10 |
centralizing use flags has nothing to do with use deps in this case (gstreamer). |

"The point is that as soon as a plugin is available to one application it's |
| 13 |
available to all - despite of having the corresponding use flagged dependency |
| 14 |
set or not. That's a) illogical and b) when users uninstall a plugin they did |
| 15 |
not depend on for one application, but are used to it in between because it |
| 16 |
was invoked by another ebuild, you run into exactly the same problem (and |
| 17 |
possible "bug" reports): Users who don't know how their applications with |
| 18 |
gstreamer work." |
