I thought there was a specific bug about chicken's use of A and that
of portage conflicting, but I can't find it now. The Changelog isn't
very helpful either. I did find bug 208535 about a similar problem
with O which was resolved by fixing portage.
I think a good way to move forward is probably to just open a new bug
about this.

You should feel free to commit stuff even if it is has some issues;
that's what we have the overlay for. The main tree is a different
story, but for the overlay the bar is intentionally really low. That
way people can cooperate and improve on each-other's work easily.
