I think the general assumption is: --newuse is commonly used, albeit |
| 18 |
inducing sometimes useless rebuilds; --changed-deps almost always |
| 19 |
induces useless rebuilds and is thus rarely used (and is newer I think). |

But the point here is different: A revbump doesn't leave the choice to |
| 23 |
use these options because of an hypothetical common subset of PMs that |
| 24 |
doesn't provide --newuse to its users... |
