> to better communicate USE_PYTHON we could use: The first question that comes into my mind is -- why do we need to communicate that? I think that USE_PYTHON is a pretty specific variable which should be used only if specially required (i.e. to keep multiple Python versions ready for use). What needs to be fixed IMO is the default value of that variable. If you already disabled switching the active Python version by default, you should also make the Python eclass base its' USE_PYTHON defaults on the active Python version. > - notifications from within ebuilds Unnecessary repeated complaints are always helpful to users.

We don't describe VIDEO_CARDS, LIRC_DEVICES etc. in that file too. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
