Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] pkg_pretend USE validation and VALID_USE alternative

Summarizing ciaran's claim to end this nonsense-

VALID_USE isn't useful because use cycle breaking can't be done 
according to strictures he desires, as such VALID_USE is pointless 
because pkg_pretend can cover it.

It's a bit brief and likely left out an insult or two, but it's to 
the point at least and doesn't need more expounding of his views.

So does anyone _other_ then ciaran care to comment?  Thinking I may 
write this up as a glep as an attempt to start pushing PMS changes 
into a more visible and documented light.
