I also like at least significant parts of the DEPENDENCIES concept,
especially when we start adding more dep variables like HDEPEND.

My understanding is that COMMON_DEPEND can be easily and uniformly
expressed as build+run.

Do we have some list of pros and cons, so that the discussion can be
more focused?

How about just allowing older style DEPEND/RDEPEND, but not both
DEPEND/RDEPEND and DEPENDENCIES in the same ebuild? Note that this may
interact with eclasses (which is also true for above idea I think).
