That's because those are global flags. If you set package-specific

when entries can be removed.
But when something new comes out, I usually want to add it for all the
packages. I have a few things listed in package.use but I don't want
to clutter the crap out of it and then have two files that needs
cleaning.
Use a directory for package.use, it makes it far easier to manage. All
of /etc/portage/package.* are directories here.
I have done that for package.keywords and unmask. In ways it is easier
but in ways, it is a nightmare. If something is unmasked, I have to go
find the file that unmasked it. I have several since I use autounmask
for most of it. Then add in that the new autounmask part of emerge
seems to pick a random file to add too. At that point, not much makes
sense anymore.
