This is so ACCT_USER_$foo can be set in make.conf, and not have to be specified as an environment variable whenever portage is run. This helps when automated systems are building Gentoo images or systems.
Please see my reply to Alec for more details. An additional argument I would like to add based on your reply:We already have package.env mechanism to override stuff. ACCT_USER_$foo would introduce an additional way. I wouldn't create an additional way for consistency.
But don't get me wrong here. I am just asking and I am always for KISS. ACCT_USER_$foo support would create some additional headaches which we could avoid from my POV. But I am probably not going to use the override feature like I prefer doing stuff like that in configuration management tool which would create these users for me exactly the way I want it. And it doesn't matter if I apply the role to a Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu or RHEL box... ;)
So I am not blocking ACCT_USER_$foo if anyone really believe it would help them.
