I think autounmasks behaviour with regards to USE flags is useful,
(heh), its just everything else it does tends to violate stability
assumptions.

For instance, I can see why automatically escalating "arch" to "~arch"
may be useful in some cases, but its a very dangerous default,
*especially* for perl.
