why not change ?
as you say, it's always been confusing and it still is confusing ...
i know every single ebuild i've ever produced/maintained uses the logic 
gtk==gtk1 and gtk2==gtk2.  i've made a lot of ebuilds ;)

perhaps it isnt as costly as it may seem to move to a gtk1 and a gtk2 USE flag 
system ...
