Not worth the effort, and definitely not worth the confusion it will
introduce (why there's FEATURES=strip here? does it install weird
executables under some circumstances? did it so in the past and someone
forgot to drop it?).

In other words, it's awful overuse of RESTRICT for pseudo-optimization.
RESTRICT is to restrict features when the package can't handle it. It's
not for skipping no-ops in the name of supposed performance gain.

If you really want to play like this, show us some benchmarks. Prove
that it gains anything. Because as far as I can see, this is nowhere
near a bottleneck for ebuild installs. Unless you can prove it's a real
gain, a strong 'don't do it' from me.
