Personally, I think that flags being present in multiple leafs of a tree would |
| 10 |
be a bad thing. It adds unneeded complexity on the dev side and confusion on |
| 11 |
the user side. With a well designed tree, it shouldn't occur anyway. To take |
| 12 |
your example, use.gui.gnome.esd shouldn't exist because esd is not a gui. |
