If you built a package with USE="-foo" and the foo USE flag is later removed, -N would rebuild it, --changed-use would not. Now think about all those linguas variables that are expanded to USE flags. Do you really want to recompile LibreOffice just because a linguas_klingon USE flag has been added? One that you wouldn't use anyway and so makes no difference to the software you actually have installed. -- Neil Bothwick A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard.
