I like the general proposal, but since it's going to council, can we try to kill another bird with the same stone? This USE=gui helps... Wayland's coming, and to the extent that USE=X has previously indicated a GUI, much like USE=gtk and USE=qt indicating the same thing, we're going to have problems. Can we make USE=gui the generic policy for that, and deprecate more specific forms for choosing /any/ gui, so they can be used for choosing /which/ gui? Then of course ordain both X and wayland USE flags for choosing specific gui platform, like gtk and qt did at their level traditionally. The question then remains whether ncurses, etc, should be treated as a gui. Maybe make mention of that one way or the other in the policy as well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
