I recently installed the unstable version of portage (2.1_pre4-r1) so I
could get access to the logging facilities (specifically having it send
me emails of information instead of needing to watch the emerge output).

However a recent 'emerge -Duva world --newuse' turned up a long list of
packages. Closer inspection showed that packages had been built with
flags such as mysql, but thought it was now turned off and wanted to
rebuild without it. That was odd so I checked ufed first and found it
listed the flag as enables in use.defaults. I also then installed
profuse and it also reported the flag as enabled in use.defaults and
therefore the box was already selected for the use flag, only allowing
me to turn it off. I had to instead add the flag into my make.conf file
before emerge would see the flag as still being turned on as it should be.

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Is it something to do with
modifications to how the new portage version handles use flags that
hasn't been incorporated into ufed or profuse yet?
