Very Yes. I would really like to see these in portage.

This should be "uninstalled", and yes.

Sure. Anything here is optional but nice.

What is the suggested replacement? If there's a decent one, sure.

Was this for bug #229521? If so, sure.
Now for the ones I'm not so sure about...

I think I missed the reasoning for removing these, particularly dosed.
pybugz didn't see any open bugs.

Is installing to /usr/include by default useful for most packages that
want to use this? Or would they /usr/include/${PN}? If you have to
change it often, aren't you just as well off using insinto/doins? Should
there be an "includeinto"?

Still not convinced about this.

I'm curious why it isn't global. Seems like it would make sense to put
it near dependencies. Also I could be wrong, but wouldn't you want to be
able to cache this and show smart pretend output, etc?
