Oh, you meant "vanilla", sorry, I was talking about the other idea that I read on I don't know which mail before about USE flags to set different editors, which is not viable at all. I'd have nothing against the "vanilla" flag, but surely everyone will want a flag for their preferred editor. Using a var in make.conf is absolutely better in my opinion, but as said, this is non-trivial. Portage would need to adjust the dependencies, it's not as easy as to throw a random string into the ebuild. -- Jesús Guerrero
