IUSE- eapi bump it, I pushed for the var for exactly crap like this ;)

The only (imo) reason to add the USE_ORDER chunks is because users use 
-* to castrate auto-use; auto-use is dead in 2.1, so the main reason 
for using -* is gone.

So... really worth adding another chunk of metadata for this?

Tiz your guys show, your choice on it but either way, an EAPI bump 
*should* be required (addition of new metadata that affects the 
resultant/desired deps would qualify), so you've got room to manuever 
on it.
