Yes. I'd suggest either (1) a feature (perhaps on by default) to enable LINGUAS output, or (2) double-verbose, or (3) perhaps a single linguas USE flag that would enable them for that package and thus list them. That way, the additional clutter could be turned off, and the USE flag list would again be relatively usable. Likewise for xorg-x11 and its new VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES, some sort of control over whether all that is displayed would be useful. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
