Looking through CVS, this was supported in at least portage-2.0.51_rc10 right? 
This implies that the only versions that will have problems are 2.0.50-r11 
and under? If so, they've already got the cascaded profile problem so 
breaking things a little more won't hurt much. ;)

Seriously though, those that can't handle the new format would have to do 
what? Regenerate digests for sandbox and portage and then emerge each of them 
with --oneshot? Am I missing anything else there?
