Right now, there are two different "kate" USE flags in the Portage tree: - 6 for the KDE Advanced Text Editor (more commonly known as just "Kate") - 3 for Ogg Kate subtitles It would be nice if the Ogg Kate was changed to "oggkate", and both of these made "global" USE flags, since they're not really package-specific.
