Too complicated. First you currently need gentoolkit for glsa.py, and
portage shouldn't depend on gentoolkit. Also you can't store
system-specific files in the tree. And finally using an intermediate
file creates some additional issues (check for IO/FS problems, checking
permissions, etc).
Any reason you need a real file for this instead of just generating the
list on the fly? Just check glsa-check how to do that, it's not much
more than a wrapper for glsa.py.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
