and i'm on the opposite side where implicit RDEPEND should be clean:
- eclass and ebuilds have their own sets of DEPEND/RDEPEND which do not in any

- RDEPEND, if not set, is defined as $DEPEND

i see it being broken regardless, might as well go for a clean break rather 
than putzing around with middle ground
