net-misc/curl: drop USE=threads USE=threads is a terrible USE flag (not the fault of net-misc/curl or its maintainer) and we're looking to get rid of it entirely. This is motivated further by the fact users have USE=threads in make.conf seeking performance improvements and such (which is understandable) but as per below, it can lead to conflicting and inconsistent effects. (In particular, anyone with USE="threads" in make.conf (don't do this for the reasons below!) will end up with a REQUIRED_USE issue between the now-default USE=adns and USE=threads). There are a few possibilities with threads support: 1. Upstreams always have threads support (hence USE=threads is only affecting a "handful" of packages anyway, not every single package, as many will just always be using pthreads and there's no way of disabling it); 2. The "threads" toggle means enabling some experimental or legacy implementation (think e.g. dev-lang/perl, which uses USE=ithreads for this, as it breaks ABI) (also applies to net-misc/curl given USE=threads doesn't help with the adns functionality many applications desire, see linked bug); 3. Not having "threads" on enables some experimental or legacy implementation again (this *again* applies to net-misc/curl given USE="-adns -threads" leaves us with a dodgy implementation as well). Commit 60b7aaa7a70149751446237d7207ff1ca20c256e enabled adns by default (IUSE=+adns). This commit drops USE=threads entirely and makes the default pthreads with adns opt-in with IUSE=+adns still. Now, the ebuild previously had REQUIRED_USE="threads? ( !adns )". I can't see a reason for this other than making the previous situation "meaningful", i.e. allowing people to decisively choose which is used at runtime, as while curl can build with both threads and adns, I think adns ends up preferred at runtime. With this change and given all of the above, we actually want adns to take priority if it's set, as threads will just be the default, so drop the REQUIRED_USE.
