Hey! - I am not the only one doing this then :)
And it was also because of a cross-compiler. When I looked at how much
extra work this type fragmentation causes, and how little (or any!)
advantage it gives makes one wonder about the designers sanity ...

I think that it is a very good idea. You can have several files in that
directory. For example you can have one for anything to do with app that need a
lot of override, this is needed a lot for MIPS and ARM ports.
Enven on a PC with AMD64 that can be usefull
michel@michel ~ $ dir /etc/portage/package.use/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 1 sep 10:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 5 aoû 23:11 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 326 30 jun 19:57 cross-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 366 1 jui 12:01 cross-mipsel-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33 22 fév 2015 iputils
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1988 1 jui 21:36 misc.use
The misc.use on my ARM boards is getting a little big so I will split it in
pieces to make it more readable.
When you need to add stuff, a big file is not as easy to handle. Having
multiple files makes this very handy.
