In that case adding >=bash-3 to "system" isn't sufficient. I'll leave the detailed explanation to Brian, but the only thing you can rely on in the ebuild environment is what the used portage version has in it's dep strings when it was merged. Not that it has much practical relevance given the age of bash-3 and things depending on it (don't think anybody is still on bash-2), but adding it to "system" wouldn't help those people.
