There's some that do nothing but modify config files (e.g. eselect editor, even has freestyle which couldn't express as USE), and there's other over-the-top stuff like Wine or gcc (between wine variants, and crossdev gcc, feel managing sys-meta and switching on the fly would get annoying). So yeah, think both type have a place. On Wine note, new eselect-wine-2 won't modify /usr anymore and it's easy to track/cleanup/reset what it modifies now -- something eselect can try to aim for in general. -- ionen
