3 There really is no reason for them. Extend euse to modify
4 /etc/portage/packages.use.

6 I think it is time to begin decentralizing the system now. Portage is
7 getting rather large and will probably be broken up into pieces in the
8 future. If ebuilds didn't have to concider some global useflag namespace
9 it would be eaiser to sync diffrent vendors trees.
