Maybe a syntax extension for IUSE would be a little nicer. For example: IUSE="unstable? ( foo bar )" You could emulate this sort of extension in current EAPIs by simply adding IUSE="unstable" and then using that flag to conditionally disable things in *DEPEND, SRC_URI, and ebuild shell code. -- Thanks, Zac
