Alright, I have talked to a few people in IRC. This solution seems to work: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* IUSE_IMPLICIT="prefix" in base/make.defaults (for EAPI-3 and greater) |
| 21 |
* prefix in base/use.mask (so no profiles will be able to use it |
| 22 |
unless specifically unmasked) |
| 23 |
* unmask USE=prefix and force it in prefix profiles - not in gentoo-x86 yet |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Patch located here if anyone cares to look: |

This is the combined logic of this thread, anything I overlooked? |
