10 Why not rename "live" to something which makes more sense in the
11 RESTRICT environment? Like the "constant-source" suggestion by Arfrever?
12 Because for me 'RESTRICT="live"' reads like: "Live(-builds)" are not
13 possible with this ebuild.

15 Pushing random boolean flags in a variable, just because it already
16 happens to be there, seems (for me) to be the wrongest possible
17 approach. This would be quite similar to: We want to store the ebuild's
18 author in the ebuild... Hmm - we would need an additional string
19 variable for this ... Come - let's use the IUSE variable - there are
20 already strings in there (perhaps add an '@' before the author so we can
21 parse it).

23 Just my 2ct,
