That is similar to USE="no" with all the attendant user support problems it brings. A far better method from a user point of view is to install the linguas the user explicitly asked for. Your proposal as worded will be taken at first glance to mean "install all linguas, but not XX" as most users won't see the MASK portion and forget to flip the logic around in their head. How much work is it to get native support for LINGUAS into all ebuilds? That would be the intuitive place considering there is already USE flags for LINGUAS. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
