strip-flags was added for bug 64362 in 2004, replace-flags and filter-flags later. Suggested plan: Drop flag-o-matic.eclass from live ebuilds and port to other ebuilds later.

Either someone needs to go through all linked bugs and check if they are still an issue, or we simply drop all flag handling (I'd go for all versions using the portable dumper, i.e. 27 onwards) and keep fingers crossed.
My preference as an Odd Platform person is to just do this for 27+ or even 28+ and not worry about older versions. It's not like bug reports for older versions will be easy to fix or handle anyway.

Still, the question is if those bugs will resurface in the newer version. I wouldn't touch versions older than 27 in any case.
