13 so you'd rather stick with a known crappy/inconsistent methodology then move
14 in the proper direction ?

20 bashrc hacks can add insert FEATURES on a per package basis until proper
21 portage support is in place, but unlike the previous bashrc suggestion, this
22 is a stop gap, not the correct, solution

24 i'm willing to forgo this (imo) minor aspect in favor of cutting the
25 unreliable USE=debug from the tree
