Yes, you're right. Maybe it would also speed up the transition period if
there was a mechanism to really force people to upgrade their portage
version when needed. I imagine a "minversion" file in the tree, with a
version number and an explanation message, and portage would refuse to
update anything else than himself if its current version is below the
current required version (and then display the explanation message
instead). Who know, its an easy to add feature, and it may be useful in
other situations.
