1. Because for things like LINGUAS, there are arbitrarily many legal values, and documenting them all and keeping the list up to date would be extremely difficult. 2. Because USE_EXPAND is used for special USE things like arch and userland, and because we undocumented the special arch USE flags because they're not user settable. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (King of all Londinium) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
