I didn't state why I suggested that, but here's the reasoning:
Unless I missed an update somewhere, USE flags are covered by PMS and
thus available to be used in ebuilds, etc. AFAIK, portage FEATURES are
just that, portage FEATURES, and thus are supposed to be opaque to
ebuilds, which shouldn't need to care which PM is running or its
features, as long as it's PMS compliant.
Thus, the split between the FEATURES bit which the ebuild shouldn't need
to know about (the user sets up the symlinks and sets the features and
portage takes care of it managing the rest for existing versions without
rewriting), and the USE flag, for where upstreams and/or ebuilds are
actually rewritten with the possibility of both layouts (and later only
the /usr locations) in mind and the ebuild installs to the targeted
location based on the USE flag.
