That's not a problem at all. If we choose to support --as-needed by
default we'd get testing from maintainers when adding new ebuilds, and
from arch teams before ebuilds hit stable.
--as-needed breaking legitimate code is a problem, though. I wonder if
we have that kind of code in any application in the tree and if we
have some way to detect it.
