It would largely be a duplicate, since we've already made a decision=20 about whether the ability to build without a feature is important enough=20 to merit a USE flag. This is essentially rethinking the same decision=20 and adding complexity to it. I think having this as an additional=20 feature in the core PM would be confusing to users. It would probably be a better fit in gentoolkit or a similar tool. --=20 Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Council Member / Sr. Developer, Gentoo Linux Analyst, RedMonk --GZVR6ND4mMseVXL/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQJ8BAABCgBmBQJS1E8HXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQxNzkxRTlGNzM0M0VCNzE1ODBBQzJEQjAx QzRBMjY4OUE2RENCMjQyAAoJEBxKJomm3LJCRogP/1AKSs4O8PgvkVNGlSTCuimy kqeMEFYY5rR2RETyzyFc6dXlSmxyAlT2SA7SC1WgabhxPBsnTcel3pid8zSB/CN2 iQEoLDLHrSJU9Jk3LHFThyALfU1ZWNqzZxZ7SyWlRvgNWzZcwqQ3NdCMqVLZv0N0 fBIWELEUNrZ3QMZvVHKt3F+gbBvWKG4vnPN8r/13m5AwR+e4sxkfhtmeKOCfTnWP lAUyoangL6iRFO+G5L3EGPO8hlZ+Y9ZqDjdqham87CILSMQa00VKKFV1mVjQRWzu 38t6+JLkZpMv7GhtzlqeK5posSXjVZlgWPxt45rTLh/SemWaYeL8AHMe1ZttP6zA 17aGbT0Io7LjWYJIn06prBMxmKwmawmVf0kpMBzu/lfnGJeMP7PiC3pgGtTS0NSu lTyJlRV1/vxLU2LgCxHsMFqhz+5wTqTipPuJHzeYeZBBNOfUuxTx9ojV8JWOrSIK /VC0YJiQlmzNQC58kEsbQvw1G7t8dyrAY3Z6U04VXm6Af1Fpk8yMNtm3SMjtjnA/ DIWBFlOp5jENwj+LSi2sHk17dWcr1nzFbE3Oo1zsIaugooaod7Vypb+dMA2rLBZi FydYeO5srEliBR8zJVQYUu4wL9NBv+yHPsjo7qZ8Swx0XmT84MQ4XwnVW1g7c4jl Sb2QSAKH59MeeUAR1xcW =52H+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GZVR6ND4mMseVXL/--
