5 it evaluates to a true, i.e always valid/resolved. And although
6 explicitly naming an empty group in an ebuild is, probably?, not useful,
7 I don't see why we'd have a definition that errors out on explicit
8 definition but not on an implicit reduction, as the package manager
9 needs to be able to handle the situation anyways. I'm all for banning
10 the empty construct in QA scope though.
