No, of course not. Otherwise, every package manager run would

Package manager must ensure the flags are valid when package is
in the graph. I would think of IUSE_RUNTIME as a last-step action where
packages were in the graph for rebuild already but the rebuild is
disabled as being unnecessary.
That's what I thought, was just making sure we're on the same page.
No, the USE flag list in vdb may be updated every time the package gets
into the graph with changed runtime flags. I don't consider that
necessary, however. Just a nice backwards compatibility feature for
other applications looking at vdb.

Well, as I see it restricting is more of a policy than a technical
requirement.
As long as we're clear on which it is, and what restrictions if any the
PM can/should impose...
But in the current form, the spec doesn't allow passing
IUSE_RUNTIME flags to has_version() so we're on the safe side :P.
True. Do we want to keep it that restrictive?
