With the tabs in the raw patch indent rendered as 8 spaces, my eyes shifted (no less than on 3 looking occurrences while also trying to get only this chunk into the reply) and I thought you are removing precisely that gtkglsink comment, sorry! > If you have "other proposed global USE flag cases" that are removing > information, please be more specific. I don't think any of these are very important, but if I were to nitpick: * x11-apps/mesa-progs local gles2 USE desc looked vaguely more useful than the new global; might be even more useful if it named the utilities by name (main one of interest is es2_info). * "asm - Enable using assembly for optimization" reads a bit weird - ultimately C, rust, etc end up using assembly in a way too. I would have went with something more of the "Enable use of hand optimized assembly routines" theme for the global desc. * gnustep-base/gnustep-gui USE=speech seems to have told something completely different than the global USE flag; maybe was looked into and determined it's actually indeed text-to-speech* Some specify what dep is used, but in many cases it's the obvious candidate. Maybe games- engine/scummvm isn't that obvious. But users will see from the deptree. * kde-apps/konqueror and net-misc/eventd specifies USE=speech installs a plugin, which might be useful information IF that's something that might need to be enabled by user on top to load the plugin. Not important. Mart
