I'm mostly in favour. Only a handful in the '3 uses' category strike
me as useful because they seem likely to be used by other packages in
future. ( matroska )
It would also be curious to see this list reorganised by
cat/pn useflag(arity)
Particularly because it seems a lot of those global useflags have php
as their primary offender.
