For one, I'm in favor of something like this - though I probably don't
have
much say in the matter. I've been bitten by not eselecting {blas,
cblas,
lapack} after an upgrade. And I've even posted on this forum the
problem.

I resolved things, quite accidently, by re-eselecting the important
components which were eselected before the upgrade.

I fixed provider selection during upgrades in overlay
(yesterday). Now it should have valid provider set at any time.
With that do you still think it would need this extra eselect
update in ebuild?
It seems that the difficult point is when you go from no provider
available
to one provider available. If that case is fixed then: No
