Using a feature of my package manager (--newuse) to facilitate a change to a variable on my machine (USE) is one thing, but changes to ::gentoo are another. I don't think it is practical or useful to revbump a thousand ebuilds when we have a python_targets visibility change, or when the default python_targets value changes. While revbumping might be a good idea for specific IUSE changes, I don't think it is always necessary.
