So what? Then you just leave the variable empty. The template (or
rather "skeleton" in Emacs' terms) knows that the RESTRICT variable is
optional and will automatically remove the line.

The skeleton for Emacs is kept in sync with skel.ebuild and the
devmanual, of course. I don't use vim and therefore I don't know what
its template does.

RESTRICT and PROPERTIES are on a single line and it's natural to add
them to the second group of such variables, namely LICENSE, SLOT,
KEYWORDS, and IUSE.

Whereas DEPEND and RDEPEND typically extend over several lines;
sometimes they are quite long. So, a RESTRICT line placed after
*DEPEND will be much more easily missed than in its current place.
