No one agrees on which @system packages can be omitted from (R)DEPEND. The devmanual says that they can all be omitted: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html#implicit-system-dependency But a lot of people will tell you that if you link to some library (say, libz) from a @system package, you should still include it in RDEPEND. That makes sense, since we now have features that can make use of that information. I think this is what vapier meant. And then opinion (2.a) is that the last rule is correct, except for certain things (like libc) that "everyone" links to.
