If I understand "man emerge", --newuse tells me if an installed package has a |
| 9 |
USE flag that was added, removed, turned on, or turned off; whereas |
| 10 |
--changed-use only notifies me if a USE flag that I've chosen on my installed |
| 11 |
packages are changed -- not any other USE flags the maintainer, or some other |
| 12 |
committer, has changed (those have bitten me in the past). |

Since I'm not really interested in reading the ChangeLog for *hundreds* of |
| 15 |
packages, N (--newuse) suits me better. Those flags have special colors and |
| 16 |
one or more of - * % () symbols so a quick glance lets me know *which* pkgs |
| 17 |
the dev has changed, and *which* pkgs ChangeLog I might want to read. |
