We really don't need this for 99.9% of bug reports, plus it gets pretty unreadable lately... Two alternatives: 1/ Only display USE_EXPAND with emerge --info -v 2/ If you dislike the first one, at least please display it the emerge -pv way, i.e. separate from normal USE Thanks.
Removing self from CC: list as I already get dev-portage@ mail. I support this feature and also wish to see a return in the old behavior. Mainly it's becoming to hard to decode a user USE= flags via bugzilla. Also the new behavior will waste alot of space in the new bugzilla for no good reason. So my vote is for --info -v
In svn r5411 it's fixed to USE_EXPAND flags similar to the way it does in merge list output. I haven't made anything conditional on -v because I think all enabled flags should be shown be default. At least they won't take as much space now.
