Not really, since the retarded handling of those use flags combos in ebuilds has been one of the key reasons to deprecate this. Also, this is rather funny why xml2 use flags needs to be removed (it was you who suggested that) - yet you resist to get rid of gtk2 use flag, which is *way* more confusing (heck, look at that old wxGTK stuff, it's nasty and confusing like hell). I'd like to note that all bugs complaining about gtk2 getting pulled in with USE="-gtk2" as being marked as dupe of that deprecation bug, not really sure how are you going to explain to the users that there are exceptions to this rule. -- jakub
