It couldn't work properly, so I withdrawn it. The major problem is that |
| 25 |
metadata becomes affected by environmental variables. |
| 26 |
|

Sadly, portage can't handle that nicely. Usually, it just results in |
| 28 |
portage 'sticking' with one particular set of USE flags on the package |
| 29 |
and trying to use the other one at the same time. In other words, a lot |
| 30 |
of random behavior and QA warnings. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Probably, the nearest thing that could work is PYTHON_COMPAT_OVERRIDE |
| 33 |
which doesn't use the USE flags but instead forces all impls listed. |
