+1; RESTRICT=sandbox shouldn't exist.

If you want to write an ebuild for some commercial broken stuff that
doesn't work w/ sandbox and stick it into some overlay, then stick

if has sandbox ${FEATURES} ; then
eerror "This thing is FUBAR with sandbox"
die "If you really want to install it, disable sandbox manually"
fi

into pkg_setup and be done with it; no need for RESTRICT=sandbox or
ACCEPT_RESTRICT. Users can decide whether they really wish to install
such app and disable sandbox temporarily if they think it's a good idea.

If you'd like to commit this to the official tree, then either fix it
properly or don't commit such stuff at all.
