Assuming dynamic dependencies don't exist, another package would still
depend on the USE flag in the vdb; the only way to force that USE flag
dependency to go away is with an unnecessarily rebuilding rev bump, as
without it it would complain that the USE flag doesn't exist.

(We're talking about RDEPEND="some/pkg[useflag]" --> RDEPEND="some/pkg")
