It seems to me to be an attempt to move what is obviously the package
manager's job into the tree, and making it far more complex than it
needs to be in the process. The necessary metadata is already in
ebuilds, and has even been changed to a more depend-like syntax for
exactly the purpose of making license handling easier; why duplicate it
in so many places?
The necessary package manager support isn't even all that difficult, so
"it's not yet been implemented" seems like a poor excuse for offloading
the work onto every single developer instead.
