Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-12-08 16:16:04 UTC 
I think this repoman check should be made fatal to make it harder for people to ignore it.

I cannot think of any valid reason for leaving an USE flag description in metadata.xml if it is not used in any ebuilds.

QA team: Please sign-off on this and re-assign to the portage team for implementation.
