Description David Klaftenegger 2018-11-23 22:59:24 UTC 
When trying to install net-misc/openvswitch, I wondered why it pulled in sys-kernel/gentoo sources, even though I have USE="-modules".

If I understand the linux-mod eclass correctly, the ebuild could specify
MODULES_OPTIONAL_USE="modules" to avoid pulling in kernel sources when not building external kernel modules.

Is there a reason other than building kernel modules to have that dependency?
