I was going through my packages to make sure that I was compliant with
this change, and found that I was not.  The l10n eclass makes use of the
LINGUAS USE_EXPAND and isn't covered in the tracker bug.  I attempted to
read through the old thread to see if someone mentioned that eclass, but
I must have missed it if someone mentioned it.  Are we EOL'ing that
eclass, or keeping it (update or revbump)?

Looks to me like we can't edit that eclass in place, so if we are to
keep it, we should probably revbump it, update the -r1 to L10N, and add
a deprecation warning to the old eclass to help maintainers migrate over.

Any opinions?  I'd be happy work on the revbump for the eclass if we
decide to go that route.  CC'ing yngwin since it is his eclass.
