Emerge will catch this, no need for revbump. Unless you're not using -D
(--deep) when updating world. Which you should.
What do you mean "catch this"?
I always use -D, and the change broke my system.
I mean that a USE flag change will trigger a rebuild of the package, and
the USE flag in question is shown by portage. So you'll know something
has changed. If you went ahead and allowed it to rebuild, it would of
course break xorg, but you'd know why since you've seen the USE flag
change and know that the breakage most probably had something to do with
that USE flag.
