Correctness? Fine. Go ahead. Stick $(use_enable xvmc) into the ebuild.
Do it. I dare you. Then try to compile.

Guess what? When it blows up... that's called INcorrect. The opposite of
the right thing.

The maintainer who comes after me would be someone with a experience

XYZ unless they know or use the package, and guess what? That means
experience.
