LoL... yes, thats true.

A suggestion possibly to keep in mind is what if all functionality 
related to USE flags were somehow implemented in a seperate class/set of 
functions... or maybe that's already being done. But I mean, the job of 
determining which flags apply to what package and managing all that and 
how it works... I noticed that (at least in stable) a lot of it is in 
portage.config, but maybe it could be a seperate class that 
portage.config uses.. and other things (like deps, etc). Then stuff like 
outputting USE flags, or adding additional ways to determine which USE 
flags to actually use for each package, would all be in one location, 
lending itself to code reuse...

Of course, this is just from my looking at portage stable for a week or 
so... maybe its already being done. :)
