Well I have no problem with changing it again, but our user base might get a little tired. At least we should put a lot of information out about the change before going forward with it. We currently still have the mozilla use flags in the ebuilds and I would not like to see three different use flags for browser plugins in the ebuilds. Something like a USE flag move would be a nice feature for portage (to update /etc/portage/package.use). Regards, Petteri Räty (Betelgeuse)
