As I told you on IRC, it's not your job to listen to the portage devs on 
  this one, you know what was intended for that support, we've argued 
over it a dozen times.  There is nothing we can do to stop you from 
"mis-using" something in portage, aside from complaining and removing it 
in the next version.  I believe we have made our recommendation and you 
know what we think you should do, but we are not Gentoo.

I would be more concerned with convincing the rest of the developers. 
adding crap in base profile.bashrc will affect 99% of users, so it 
better be friggin correct and useful, otherwise you will piss a ton of 
people off.
