"IT changes"??  I'm at a loss here.  You mean that YOU keep telling it
to change?  <wink>  I think that you missed Daniel Robbins point:
>>>
I'd recommend that people who don't want to have the latest and greatest
versions of everything (and everything that goes with it), don't use
--update with emerge. <<<

When you get it how you like it -- stop.  Don't "emerge --update"; don't
"emerge" new stuff.  You've got what you want -- why change it?  ;-)

Well, at least make a backup at your "I like it" point.
