Agree, but maintainers would have the option to just not change IUSE |
| 16 |
at all until the next time they would revbump anyway. That saves |
| 17 |
rebuilds for those using --changed-use today. |

I'm not convinced that it is actually that easy for people to avoid |
| 20 |
--changed-use, and if they are using it then they're going to |
| 21 |
potentially get exposed to these rebuilds when IUSE changes. |
