Could you please discuss why you make the reintroduction of EGO_SUM 
dependent on this question?

Portage will show you a warning message if the exported environment 
approaches the kernel limit, and it will show a detailed error message 
if executing an ebuild failed due to the limit being reached. There 
seems to be no reason why you should not be able to allow EGO_SUM again 
without first fixing, for example, https://bugs.gentoo.org/721088.
