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

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.
