I don't remember the last time this actually happened. There have been disussions about this, but I admit, not on -core or -dev. > Plus that the flag is about a silly config issue, pretty pointless > adding a flag for this. it was added since its been asked for, for years in bugs (and generating more bugs), and eventually wore me down. There isn't really an easy way to present this option to the user without the use of USE, or a command line var (or in env.d) and still be intuitive.
