It seems that only the Gnome team regards this as common sense. Others, such as the Qt team and QA regard the versioned useflag solution as more sensible. I think we can conclude that there is no perfect solution, and we simply have different preferences. That said, I'm not sure we absolutely need a policy. Though I would agree it would be more elegant if we can solve this matter, to make it easier to grasp by our users. In that case the QA proposal makes sense to me. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer
