Too many people using -* (due to auto flags) so that will break for most of

So we have the three things we should deprecate in a single thread:

a) no* flags
b) auto flags
c) -* and -<foo> for all architectures in one ebuild.

How about tackling that now, instead living with the consequences for yet another unknown while?

All of these are basically hacks around portage deficiences. The portage team knows of them, the portage team is working to make sure they aren't needed in the future. However none of the fixes will be out 'soon', so unless you have patches to fix them or suggestions that don't involve code changes, there isn't much that can be done.
