Same here. Upshot of reuse, it's cheaper from a char standpoint for the cache. Plus, it saves us having to write an extra check to repoman to verify that IUSE_DEFAULTS stated flags are all in IUSE ;) Does require an EAPI bump for it, but there is enough stuff sitting around that requires an EAPI bump, probably worthwhile to roll a glep for it and do it in one shot. ~harring
