No package would use it, and there is no _pressing_ need. I still think it's nicer to let the user understand. What if we had qt referring to quicktime, and no qt package just yet? Would it be okay for you not to be able to understand without looking up the flag if qt referred to QuickTime or TrollTech's Qt? (being all downcase helps not here, capitalisation would have helped distinguish between the two). > I don't think any user will expect media-video/undvd, app-cdr/k3b or > media-video/cinelerra-cvs to support cascading style sheets but rather > the other CSS stuff. :-) This assumes that users know that there are _two_ CSS technologies. Which I sincerely doubt. Note that even Wikipedia defaults CSS to Cascading Style Sheet. While it can't say anything aboug Gentoo users, it says a lot on how that particular acronym is perceived among the general public. And I see no compelling reason to stick with a bad choice just for the sake of not renaming an USE flag, when the alternative is to actually give back sanity to the flag naming. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
