There is something very *much* wrong with that. 1) It's trivial to enforce -Werror via the packages.env mechanism on specific packages (e.g. those that you maintain). 2) Compared to that, an additional useflag introduces a lot of unnecessary overhead at the package manager level *and* requires yet another level of policies and Gentoo-specific definitions. -- Andreas K.
