I see no hurry in changing the USE flag name, unless I can do it in profile/updates so that it is updated in make.conf, package.use and so on and on. Can I? I vaguely remember sometimes seeing etc-update having updates to package.use, but I think those were for package moves, not USE flag renames. If I can't, a change in the USE flag name will disrupt users without much necessity. I should s/wxWindows/wxWidgets/ in the USE flag description though. A herd name change would be less disruptive, as people (and mostly bug wranglers at that) would have to just figure out they need to assign and CC to wxwidgets@gentoo.org instead of wxwindows@gentoo.org then. I planned to rename the herd at some point, but it got onto a backburner with certain things being way behind in the wx world in Gentoo and it not being too important compared to the technical things to solve. Will probably have infra and bugzie guys take care of it later this year, though, regarding the herd name...
