Seems like everyone who contact me/us about this thread is agree about 
the needed of write a GLEP before doing this kind of global changes. So 
I would like to add a couple of considerations:

1. Dear gentoo devs, in the future, please, write a GLEP for global 
changes affecting all of us and post them to -dev. This way you can get 
some feedback, improve the original idea and inform everybody about the 
new feature (all-in-one).

2. With respect to the new metadata USE flag implementation, I think 
that reverting the changes could be quite radical so my vote goes for: 
leave the thingy as it (stop adding use flags to metadata for now), 
write a quick GLEP and go through the process. When it's done, migrate 
the current data (if needed) and enjoy.

Thanks.
