But at that point the manager has little or no control over the package,
hell you can move the savedconfigs out of /etc/portage/ cause they have
nothing to do with it at all.
You can't do use-deps with this, because you can't effectively enumerate
what a savedconfig build will actually build with (assumining
savedconfig is enabled for that package) since the manager's choices
will just get over-ridden. The PM would be required to essentially scan
the savedconfig and parse them into an internal package config state.
And from a PM point of view that blows ;)
