built_with_use isn't using eerror and it wasn't scanned by repoman so unless you read the whole ebuild you could miss it when bumping. If we have devs ignoring eerrors out of the ebuild, then we should rather get rid of them. It's much harder to spot you are using a deprecated function when it doesn't exist at all as then the error message during emerge doesn't stand out in any form. Regards, Petteri
