Two things on that page are outright wrong:
1. If the package has stable keywords, they should be moved to the new
revision without dropping. To commit the ebuild, repoman commit
--straight-to-stable option should be used.
That violates our other stabilization policies and common sense.
2. Examples of changes that can be done without a revision bump are...
adding a new USE flag or removing an existing one (since change in
USE flags is going to trigger --changed-use rebuild),
The --changed-use flag is not default, not part of the PMS, and slows
portage down even more than it already is. The council ratified the PMS
and the associated GLEP, and following this advice breaks PMS-compliant
package managers.
