USE=nossp existed before USE=vanilla did. To be sure I'm remembering
right, I checked `cvs log toolchain.eclass`. In order, probably skipping
a few steps:
1- No SSP
2- Choice between SSP [USE=-nossp] and stub patches [USE=nossp].
USE=vanilla didn't exist.
3- Choice between SSP [USE="-nossp -vanilla"], stub patches
[USE="nossp -vanilla"], and nothing [USE="vanilla"]
4- Choice between SSP [USE=-nossp] and stub patches [USE=nossp]
USE=vanilla exists but has no effect on SSP.
It was during 2 that I asked for a way to disable stub patches for
myself (and not as part of the official ebuild), and you said to delete
them. That was good enough for me during 2. We are now in 4.

I hope this is specific enough: toolchain.eclass revision 1.234
(separating ssp/... from vanilla) log message:
"ssp/pie/htb have their own USE flags sep from vanilla, so people can
utilize those"
when in fact the old USE=vanilla behaviour is unavailable now. You have
never (as far as I know) answered whether it was intended to keep the
old behaviour as an option, and if it wasn't, why the log message is
what it is.

I'll keep that in mind, I wasn't aware that the other toolchain guys
handle specific parts of the toolchain packages only. Even if I disagree
with some specific decisions, nice job overall, then.
