The average gentoo newbie is not going to know anything about "-*" in
/etc/make.conf. Mostly it's folks that have been around for a system
build or two before they start adding the "-*" at the beginning of their
USE flags.
I may be wrong but I don't believe the gentoo install doco even mentions
"-*" as part of USE flag setup.
So basically if only 'experienced', yet misguided, folks are using '-*',
then the only bugs to come up from this would be ABKB bugs, leaving them
with egg on their face for messing with '-*' in the first place.
