I have no objections to the concept - I would however like very through
testing before it's actually committed.

Could you please submit the profile as a patch to the mailing list, 
thus allowing detractors to test cases that they believe it may break.
- If it breaks them, then something needs to be done.
- If it doesn't break them, then they have no reasonable grounds for rejecting 
the patch.

I myself have a few cases I'd like to test, on fringe cases of portage
behavior.

Backwards compatibility is the most important thing with the core
portions of the tree - new functionality must always be introduced in
such a way that the existing majority does not experience breakage -
because they'll make somebodies life hell.
