Some people want that repoman print warnings for ebuilds, whose effective IUSE contains deprecated USE flags (e.g. USE flags corresponding to old versions of Python/Ruby). I suggest that deprecation of USE flags be specified by " (DEPRECATED)" suffix in descriptions of given flags in profiles/use.desc and profiles/desc/*.desc files.
Any opinions about syntax?
