There seems to be a misunderstanding. |

|
| 26 |
The feature is already _optional_ and not even active in all |
| 27 |
circumstances (did you read the wiki entry?). If your ebuilds |
| 28 |
assume that random portage features are enabled, then that's pretty much |
| 29 |
undefined behavior. |

We can debate whether there are dependency changes not worth a revbump. |
| 32 |
We can debate how to reinstate dynamic deps support or how to update the |
| 33 |
VDB. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
But considering any of that as a blocker to fix a fundamental bug in |
| 36 |
dependency calculation, handling of VDB and PMS compatibility is close |
| 37 |
to being silly, I'm sorry. |
