Could you share it with everyone what the proposed global descriptions of these USE flags would be, and what the individual local USE flag descriptions currently are?

In at least one I package I use, media-sound/mpd, USE=network doesn't really do what it says on the tin. Currently, "the tin" says "Enable network streaming support". However, what it does is enable network streaming /server/, with the requisite encoding, etc. Network streaming /client/ support is always enabled for this package, regardless of the USE=network setting, and indeed, I happily listen to incoming shoutcast streams all the time despite USE=- network for this package. This was a relatively new flag for this package, added in the fresh ~arch version, and it certainly caused me some initial confusion, until I actually examined the ebuild itself to see what it did. Perhaps a more accurate flag for media-sound/mpd would therefore be USE=server (which BTW has all sorts of local entries, but AFAIK, has been disapproved as a global USE flag before). -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

You seem to have ignored this part.
