One feature that would be more useful (in my honest on Tuesdays opinion) for us arch folks is the ability to mask use flags on a per-package basis. Often times use flags will work for 99% of the packages they are used in, but the other 1% will not. Currently the workaround is to just make the ebuild ignore that use flag on that arch, but there's no real indication to the user that the workaround is thwarting their use flag preferences (unless the arch monkey is nice enough to put in some einfo love).
