18 No, it only means the special ECVS_RUNAS feature doesn't work with userpriv.

20 This isn't a feature ebuilds use, it's something you can use to make
21 cvs.eclass chown its checked-out files to the user specified via $ECVS_RUNAS.

24 Again, this didn't really work before either, it's just the the eclass claimed
25 it to work :-)
