Honestly, if it was knocked down to <50 left in the tree, I'd be fine
with it.

Once reaching that level, the following could be done:

1) mangling built_with_use adding a an explicit whitelist of callers,
making everything else a die.
2) keep the existing /var/db/pkg format aware code in place.
3) Expand the function w/ manager aware code as necessary to deal w/
said managers potentially shifting to new vdb forms.

I doubt ciaran will like #3, but if we can get it down to .15% of the
tree at that point pragmatism should rule the day; as long as the PM
has alternate ways to query the info without accessing the VDB
directly (even if those ways are outside PMS), I'm fine with it, and I
expect most folk would be.

toolchain_src_compile: EAPI=0: count: 38

I'm not sure this can change any time soon. :/
