Why not rename "live" to something which makes more sense in the RESTRICT environment? Like the "constant-source" suggestion by Arfrever? Because for me 'RESTRICT="live"' reads like: "Live(-builds)" are not possible with this ebuild. Pushing random boolean flags in a variable, just because it already happens to be there, seems (for me) to be the wrongest possible approach. This would be quite similar to: We want to store the ebuild's author in the ebuild... Hmm - we would need an additional string variable for this ... Come - let's use the IUSE variable - there are already strings in there (perhaps add an '@' before the author so we can parse it).
