If I need to keep that flag, that's what I'll do. |

Not only is NNTP getting pretty obscure and obsolete. Needing an NNTP |
| 20 |
client to use inews instead of NNTP for posting, is even more obscure |
| 21 |
and obsolete. I think EXTRA_ECONF is plenty good enough unless |
| 22 |
somebody is aware of any other gentoo packages that could take |
| 23 |
advantage of an "inews" USE flag... |
