And I use quite different 'rule' where to place variables:
- to separate frequently changed ones (KEYWORDS, IUSE) with rather invariant 
ones (SLOT, LICENSE)

Rationale:
It generates smaller diffs (and less conflicts when doing semi-automatic 
merges of ebuild changes between branches as those are likely both IUSE and 
KEYWORDS changes, KEYWORDS changes are rarely desired to be included in merge, 
if IUSE is just below the line with KEYWORDS, KEYWORD change will be 
accidentally taken in)
