I've used my best judgment to figure out whether the local description
actually provides any "extra information".  I didn't touch
the gtkglsink-related flags since they provided some information.
I fail to see how "platform usage" adds any information.

If you have "other proposed global USE flag cases" that are removing
information, please be more specific.
