One is that we had metaports way before we had USES=3Dmetaport Another reason is that it doesn't hurt. That is not the same as to say that= it adds any value. So far you have failed to provide any reason as to why this should be in the documentation. > The suggestion is intended to make things fairly easy, fairly obvious, You fail again to explain *what* is made easier and more obvious. What value adds the fact the the user is aware that a port is a metaport by looking at the description? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
