1) You cannot define a total order on those names: Is maa/moo-3-scm_bONECOOLFEATURE < maa/moo-3-scm_bOTHERCOOLFEATURE ? 2) It will break updating from the feature branch, once you installed: sys-devel/gcc-4.2.3_p20071127-scm_b${BRANCHNAME}-r1 and sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4 comes out, it'll update to that, regardless of the inclusion of ${BRANCHNAME}'s feature.
