Probably:
- exp-runs can be reduced via local testing as USES=luajit only has ~50 candidates
- luajit -> luajit-devel is safe due to same upstream and tested by other distros
- luajit-openresty -> luajit-devel build test may show false negatives[1] but
  ARCH-specific cases are likely safe

[1] www/openresty and {devel,www}/lua-resty-* build fine with lang/luajit-devel.
    However, not every instance maybe as obvious whether to ask maintainer.
