10 USE flags are to ebuilds as options are to automobiles. Some
11 automobiles offer all-wheel drive as an option. Some don't offer it as
12 an option all. And for some (e.g. Subaru) the cars all have all-wheel
13 drive and it's not an option. Just the same as all-wheel drive (and
14 brake pads) are not an option on a WRX, arts is apparently not an option
15 on a noatun.
