It's already an "optfeature": https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/mail-client/thunderbird/thunderbird-128.8.0.ebuild#n1163 (or https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/mail-client/thunderbird/thunderbird-128.8.0.ebuild#L1163 if Gentoo's gitweb is being hammered by AI scrapers) You can have portage sets called "optfeature" for example with comments what each dep is doing: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/sets Since TB works fine without libnotify, it's not a mandatory dep - even though I'd see no harm doing it like that. But the next bug would be asking to remove it and make it optfeature. So it is the best solution we have right now.
