Lazy is the word.
I cannot argue with this one, I just know that it won't be the gnome
herd who do the work when the time come to fix this (resolve
conflict).
The gnome herd will re-introduce the lazy ticket, and make other herd
use yet another confusing USE flag.
This is not the right way to maintain long term constants.
You asked for objections... You got some.
You can leave this local USE flag, and stay with generic term.
Or you can rename it when it goes global so it have proper name.
You can also ignore this and force gnome onto all users.
Alon.
