Big advantage of automatic deps over --autounmask is that auto deps would not mess with user configuration files in /etc. Changed USE flags would be stored internally by portage.
Ok, but then you need a database (another file in /etc/portage/) for all of the active use flags that are set by the installed packages. That or every emerge has to scan and parse every ebuild of all installed packages, adding a high delay.
The way as it is now is just fine, but always remember: "With great power comes great responsibility" Greetings Sebastian
