Requirements and design goals need to be written in such a way so that
they are not implementation-specific. So, words such as "USEFLAGS,"
"distfiles," "slots" or even "ebuild" should not be used in any of the
requirements, as they have a built-in bias towards a particular
implementation.

Figure out what types of problems you are trying to address in your list
of implementation goals, and distill them to a raw, generic requirement
or design goal. Then I can incorporate them into the design spec.
