As more and more packages seem to (mis)use USE_EXPAND: Can we get the

How about if we use a share a single PLUGINS USE_EXPAND among multiple
unrelated packages? That way, you're package.use settings will be less
verbose (plugins_foo versus claws_mail_plugins_foo).
And could anyone explain to me, why having 21 additional use-flags is
bad? I mean, you have them now too, the only 'advantage' being a nicer
display on 'emerge -v'.
Using a generic PLUGINS USE_EXPAND will also have the advantage of
making the emerge -v display less verbose.
Yes, this sounds like a good compromise. I'd still go with Michał if I
had to choose ... but I'm not the maintainer :).
We've got a feature request bug here for a package.use USE_EXPAND syntax
extension:
