Nope. What's worth changing is the excessive use of USE_EXPAND for no
reason (your described usecase makes sense for reasonable USE_EXPAND
stuff like VIDEO_CARDS). But seems like I'm the only one concerned by
this, so I should probably rest my case and switch to silent sobbing
instead ;-).

I definitely agree with you. USE_EXPAND combined with nearly everything
on-by-default (ENLIGHTENMENT_PLUGINS, for example) really annoys me.
There are two ways to "turn off" USE_EXPADed flags: explicitly set
everything but what you don't want in make.conf, or use the
fully-qualified flag in make.conf:USE or package.use, which defeats the
purpose entirely. Both of these are overly verbose, in my opinion. I
don't know how the over-utilization of USE_EXPAND got started, but I
would very much like to see it go away.
