I have a related question, but first a comment:

I like the idea, that packages run their self-tests before they get
marked stable. And if it should become default and a user doesn't want
it, he can disable it. So what?


So my question is:
where's the difference between USE="test" and FEATURES="test" ?

So FEATURES="test" means, that portage runs src_test(), right?
So what does USE="test" mean?
