If you have a look at the Package Manager Specification project page[1] it notes that this is how it worked previously and was decided against. Personally, given that Gentoo is a meta-distribution, it makes more sense to me to have an independent specification for things like this and have the "default" package manager essentially be the reference implementation of the specification. If there's a better way to do something than what is defined in PMS, then perhaps suggest an update to it.
