If Portage currently happens to, say, disable sandbox if an ebuild sets GIVE_ME_A_COOKIE="yes" globally, it does not mean that ebuilds may rely upon this behaviour, nor does it mean that Portage cannot change in such a way that breaks this behaviour. The acceptance question is relevant only for legitimate behaviour; things accepted by fluke aren't considered accepted. -- Ciaran McCreesh
