I think we are mostly in agreement, actually, the point wasn't about
the rebuild following a bump (which is necessary for vdb update and
indeed gets rid of issues down the road), it was more about whether it
is prudent to change eclasses used by stable packages without bumping
revision, and being careful in this consideration when selecting to
set deps in eclasses rather than directly in ebuild in the first place.

Yeah, I don't think this discussion impacts the proposals you've
outlined for dyndeps, thanks for summing things up.
