I disagree. ACCEPT_LICENSE does not change the files which the ebuild
installs on the user's filesystem, nor does it interfere with subslot
dependency calculations like EAPI changes do. Therefore a new revision
is not needed.

That is the package manager's task. I do get reminded if a package which
I have installed is now masked by package.mask, maybe something like
this would work for licenses too.
