That's because those are global flags. If you set package-specific flags
in /etc/portage/package.use, eix-test-obsolete will tell you when entries
can be removed.
But when something new comes out, I usually want to add it for all the
packages. I have a few things listed in package.use but I don't want to
clutter the crap out of it and then have two files that needs cleaning.
I have used the eix-test before but it seems to have waaaay to much
output and it seems something changed and it makes less sense to me
now. Maybe I need to give it another whirl and check into some output
options.
It'll have to wait until after garden time tho.
