I don't understand here: you mean die like being removed or die like
the die call in an ebuild? If I understood correctly the following it
should be the latter.

I can think of checks like:
- foo is a dep/rdep of bar
- foo has a "plugin like" architecture
- bar will "work" with minimal foo
- most people will expect some features in bar that come with foo's
plugins
- we might want to display warnings for the most useful features
- having useflags in bar for each of foo's useflags doesn't seem wise


Ok that's not really a nice example but I can't think of anything
better at the moment.

By the way, how will the --missing option of built_with_use be handled
by eapi 2?

Alexis.
