   It was proposed to become a USE flag already over two years ago, considering   
   that */srv* is part of the FHS and is already being created - albeit left   
   empty - in most modern distributions.   
      
   There was some debate about it on the Gentoo forums as well, and so I   
   naturally presumed that this USE flag had in the meantime already been   
   adopted...
