Without doubting the decision made about the msn USE flag, here are some quotes from a bug report: "I am not sure if it's a bug ... anyway, at least on AMD64 you have removed MSN protocol. Right now I am avoiding an upgrade because the flag has been marked as not usable.[...]" [Some discussion later] "If I see (-msn%*) and as far as I know it means that you are removing the protocol." [Editor's note: (-msn%) means that the USE flag has been removed and was not enabled] [Even more bitching] "Otherwise, if this was not the case, it's not written anywhere that this flag is incorporated .... oh, yes I know it is in the Changelog, and I have read it before filing this bug, but come on ... that's not the point. In this case, you should do like skype, i.e.: emerge pidgin (msn) (yahoo) (icq) spell tcl tk -avahi -bonjour ... and so far and so on ... and you should not delete/remove the flag in the way you did. Licq still uses msn flag .... so I user may understand that licq is the only software supporting MSN."
