 The discussion however is if it is okay to document these things there or
 not. Some of the features are considered to be too fragile to be broadly
 documented (at least in a beginners resource like the Gentoo Handbook) and
 might cause eventual bugs to be closed as RESO:WONTFIX because the user used
 such a feature.
 

A quick read didn't seem like there would be something overly dangerous
or support nightmare producing there.

Petteri

 Team,
 
 The Gentoo Handbook is about getting the base system installed. 
 As such features such as per package CFLAGS have no place there.
 They are not within the scope of installing the base system.
 
 I disagree. The first part is about getting a base system. The rest
 of the handbook is to describe the Gentoo-specific administrative
 stuff.

I agree. Advanced portage features can be in Gentoo Handbook provided
it is clear that they should be not used without proper and complete
understanding
