Yeah, and there's no reason for user to see USE_EXPAND QA notice crap,
eclass inherited illegally crap and a couple of others - this isn't going
anywhere.

You are trying to solve something that noone ever complained about. Why not
rather solve stuff like ebuilds that depend unconditionally on arts, but
because they inherit kde eclass they get bogus arts use flag from the
eclass. This is an issue that's truly confusing and that people are filing
bugs about. There's the difference between doing something useful and
wasting time on an artificially invented issue.
