Hola.
Subject says it all; SANDBOX_DISABLED functions as (essentially)
RESTRICT="sandbox", except sandbox is left on for pkg_setup .
This is pretty much redundant, considering it's usage. People stick
it in the global scope; if you _must_ turn off the sandbox for a
specific phase, use SANDBOX
Hola all.
The short version of it is that there is no good reason to be using
has_version/portageq in the global scope; it's slow, it's not allowed,
and any attempts to change metadata via it screw up the build plan.
It's really a no go... so next version of portage will trigger an

With the 'proven' definition being repeated contributions, and

It's the arguement against (essentially) having AT's on the same level

Out of curiousity, since for once my portage installation is *not*
