Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

I see this in summary log:
LOG: setup
bindist disabled: Resulting binaries may not be legal to re-distribute.


But that is the habitual meaning for "bindist", people not disable bindist globally will hit this issue always as the global USE flag description states:
bindist - Flag to enable or disable options for prebuilt (GRP) packages (eg. due to licensing issues)

Then, I don't see much sense on needing to warn again and again every time :/ 

Thanks

I would prefer to disable the warning entirely. It's unnecessary noise. phajdan.jr wanted it there for some reason.

  +chromium-43.0.2334.0.ebuild, metadata.xml:
  Dev channel bump. Replace bindist with proprietary-codecs USE flag (bug
  #538628 by pacho).

I plan to keep this bug open until the fix makes it to stable.
