Not sure what exactly that is supposed to mean, but I guess it's already 
doable with --noreplace and --onlydeps.

$EDITOR /var/lib/portage/world
or
sed -i -e '/<category>\/<package>/d' /var/lib/portage/world

Maybe worth integrating when generic set support is available.

This has been rejected in the past as it isn't always a good idea as you 
might want to change your plans if a package fails. Maybe as an optional 
feature, but even then it's rather low priority.
