If you built a package with USE="-foo" and the foo USE flag is later |

removed, -N would rebuild it, --changed-use would not. |

Now think about all those linguas variables that are expanded to USE |
| 12 |
flags. Do you really want to recompile LibreOffice just because a |
| 13 |
linguas_klingon USE flag has been added? One that you wouldn't use anyway |
| 14 |
and so makes no difference to the software you actually have installed. |
