no, we have no policy on upstream naming conventions -> USE naming 
conventions ... our policy is to make the USE flags generally clear as to 
what their intent is

you can just as easily call it 'kde-blahblah-flag' and then run `use_enable 
kde-blahblah-flag final` and get the same results as if you had called it 
'final' and run `use_enable final`
