Created attachment 568084 [details] emerge --info output Absence of the “minimal” USE flag currently implies a dev-util/ctags dependency, yet the ctags package is unnecessary, independent of vim, and has no effect on vim's build process. Meanwhile, specifying “minimal” guts a great deal of vim's functionality and overrides the very USE flags that would enable specifying said functionality manually. Removal of the dev-util/ctags dependency would retain current capabilities while adding the additional capability of not installing ctags with a non-minimal vim installation. Please consider. Thank you.
