I don't think this is something that can be reasonably supported and it sounds awfully automagic. And I don't see how this is possible right now, so I'm not really sure what you expect to get worse. E.g. -gnutls pulling in dev-libs/openssl is not really something you'd expect. If we go for provider USE flags, then things become consistent, explicit and unambiguous. The only problem is our crappy implementation of providers USE flags via REQUIRED_USE.
