The average gentoo newbie is not going to know anything about "-*" in /etc/make.conf. Mostly it's folks that have been around for a system build or two before they start adding the "-*" at the beginning of their USE flags. I may be wrong but I don't believe the gentoo install doco even mentions "-*" as part of USE flag setup. So basically if only 'experienced', yet misguided, folks are using '-*', then the only bugs to come up from this would be ABKB bugs, leaving them with egg on their face for messing with '-*' in the first place. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
