Terminology wise, this is more a side effect that users are exposed to global methods of setting use flags first, and specific methods of setting use flags second. The reality is *all* USE flags have behaviour specific to the packages they're on. Just some packages share the same interpretations of the same flags, and so it *can* make sense to set them simultaneously for multiple packages. But this ends up in a "Cognition, Language, Naming things and Namespaces are hard" corner either way.
