Somewhat tongue-in-cheek: |

I don't know either. I don't want udev, udisks, hwdb or even know |
| 10 |
what they are. Somebody else wants all that stuff on my system |
| 11 |
(gentoo profile or the gentoo handbook author) and I wish that person |
| 12 |
would have addressed emerge's concerns WRT use flags. |

I didn't know what RUBY was or why it was on my system or who wanted |
| 20 |
it or whether that person wanted ruby_targets_ruby19 or RUBY_TARGETS |
| 21 |
or whatever. Me "waiting" would require 1) that I knew RUBY was a |
| 22 |
"temporary problem" that would be fixed in the future [I assumed it |
| 23 |
was not... just like hwdb] and 2) that I not perform an emerge |
| 24 |
sync/world. |
