I had a USE blocker give me a list, recently, and it was mildly 
irritating to have to sort out which of the several USE flags were wrong.

In my case it was in kdelibs-9999.4 in the KDE overlay, complaining about 
qt4, recent changes according to the forum, but it still took me a bit to 
figure out which USE flag it was, even tho I had read about them, because 
there were several flags in the list, all of which seemed set on first 
glance -- but I missed accessibility.  So even knowing about it in 
advance, the list wasn't as clear as naming the specific flag would have 
been.

Still, I agree a list is better than having to recompile it several times 
over! =8^)
