Subject: [gentoo-pms] Clarification of has_version cat/pkg[use=] behavior for EAPI 3 or 4

9 I see a couple course of possible actions:
10 1. Current PMS already implies this behavior and Portage is buggy. Let's
11 document this explicitly for EAPI 3 and have Portage fixed so using EAPI
12 3 makes sure this syntax works.
13 2. PMS currently does not specify this properly and as such this would
14 belong to EAPI 4.
15 3. Suggestions welcome.
