I would say working as intended. If you do not know what a package does, chances are you don't need to enable it. And if you do want to tinker, USE flags gives you enough of a hint to start googling. Having said that, we should at least have gramatically correct English in descriptions. One might also lean towards more verbosity in end-user oriented packages (versus server/backend/toolchain packages). In any case, 10-15 words should be more than enough to explain what a USE flag does. -- Eray Aslan Developer, Gentoo Linux eras <at> gentoo.org
