We've discussed adding this to metadata.xml a few times in the past,
but every time there was opposition from a vocal minority of one who
claimed that USE flags should always do exactly the same thing for
every package.
why do minorities rule?
Actually i agree that in general use flags should have a consistent meaning.
But anyway, if "perl" adds support for perl, the user might want to know
what it is good for in this package. or "plugins" could list the plugins
that would be added.
What tool ever would display the use flags description, it could use
those from
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc by default, which may be overwriten in
metadata.xml
