IMHO it is, but not as a USE flag (it will never be stable enough

Well this would not give the advantage of cutting down emerge times. Why
the script when you can just turn off the use flag?
Because the USE flag itself doesn't produce stable output and shouldn't
be in a stable tree, IMHO. You can't mask use flags ~arch.
Or, put the kernel source on a cd, and build off of it (putting the
objects on your local disk.) This lets you only use the local disk for
your built objects.
I can always maintain this in my overlay if I want to so that is no
problem. I just thought this might be useful for other people too.
