In what way is it bad? Gentoo used to fail to install stuff because your
USE flags were wrong and you had to go on a treasure hunt to find each
one you needed to set, one at a time. Now it simply says "if you want
this, set these use flags on those packages" and people still complain.
Some people won't be happy until we go back to Grub style error messages,
preferably in binary :(
