Hello, gentoo devs! I have a little story about USE flags.
Almost every package in gentoo has USE flags. Many of them have clear
meaning. For example: doc builds package documentation, qt or
gtk build GUI frontend. Meaning of this flags is one for all
packages in portage. And this is described in

This is already supported by metadata.xml local use flags, you can add
extended information as local use flag in addition to global use flag.
So I take this as a friendly reminder that maintainers should start
using the feature.

Hi,
i would like to see a discussion and, if needed, a decision on the following
topic:
Currently, some packages just depend on dev-lang/python. Arfrever claims it
to be right, but this
dependency does pull in python-3*, even if the package does not require it (or
does not even work
with it).

But then you'll never get new slots for the majority of dependencies

It's correct only for packages (e.g. dev-python/setuptools), which support all
versions of Python (including Python 3).
