Yeah, and there will be, since chosing between stuff like mysql or recode on
behalf of the user is plain stupid and produces unexpected outcome, since
portage can't handle build_with_use this way, since portage can't handle use
flags conflict at emerge --pretend/--ask time, and last but not least since
there's no such policy that would mandate such changes.

However, I'm still one ear wrt the original topic, which was "all the ways
in which webapp-config is broken".
