I would recommend to stay on the conservative side and only add ones that we're sure we need for specific ebuilds. We can remove flags later, but it's better if can avoid adding unneeded ones in the first place. > floppym's already requested 'prefix' so that his chromium tests with > EAPI5 don't fail or need an explicit 'prefix' in IUSE, for instance I think it's pretty clear that the 'prefix' flag is special, so I would go ahead and add it. -- Thanks, Zac
