- Note that there's two exceptions:
1. app-alternaitves/yacc
No need to explicitly add into @system, because we previously had virtual/yacc
so it'll get pulled in by ebuild dependencies anyway.
2. app-alternatives/lex
We never had virtual/lex before and packages very often explicitly
depend on sys-devel/flex. But this isn't a big deal given it's very unlikely
that a user wants to try modify lex yet and reflex is still very new as an
option in Gentoo.
That is, as time goes on and we test more to ensure it works with any lex,
it'll get pulled in as various ebuilds get updated anyway.

FWIW, I'd like to push this today to avoid users having to deal
with the migration "twice" if they have eselect-sh installed,
given app-alternatives/* got stabled yesterday/early today.
After discussion in #gentoo-pms, I'm going to push this
with only the +s (i.e. keep gzip + bzip2 in @system for now),
as PMS at least for gzip is clear it wants GNU gzip available,
and it says "bzip2" must be as well.
I'd like to revisit this another time and see about changing that
if appropriate, but that's tangential to the reason I'm trying to do
this quickly (minimising impact for users).
I'll open a bug so we don't forget to do that revisiting.
