But ebuilds setting RESTRICT=userpriv are explicitly saying "we can't |

use userpriv not because of an accident but because the build system |

really needs elevated privs". If a user wants to be protected against |

accidental mistakes, they set FEATURES=userpriv and accidental mistakes |
| 11 |
are caught whilst intentional requirements are let through. |
