Wouldn't the "help them out" default be consistent with the "non-interactive" goal for portage? Quit if there's no sane way to go forward without potentially breaking a system, but otherwise, use sane fallbacks where they are possible.
I don't think this is about interactive or non-interactive, it's more about strict and non-strict. I think it would be nice to have the "you want it but did not emerge it so i don't use it" with FEATUERS="- strict" and the "sorry, not possible, i'll quit" with FEATURES="strict".
But i really think this is not about helping but about confusion. If i post my emerge --info you don't know if i really use confcache even if i have FEATURES="confcache", because emerge --info does not say if i have emerged confcache and, if i have emerged it, which version it is. I think this should also be listed in emerge --info.
