6 LoL... yes, thats true.

8 A suggestion possibly to keep in mind is what if all functionality
9 related to USE flags were somehow implemented in a seperate class/set of
10 functions... or maybe that's already being done. But I mean, the job of
11 determining which flags apply to what package and managing all that and
12 how it works... I noticed that (at least in stable) a lot of it is in
13 portage.config, but maybe it could be a seperate class that
14 portage.config uses.. and other things (like deps, etc). Then stuff like
15 outputting USE flags, or adding additional ways to determine which USE
16 flags to actually use for each package, would all be in one location,
17 lending itself to code reuse...

19 Of course, this is just from my looking at portage stable for a week or
20 so... maybe its already being done. :)
