Heh, seems the ML overwrote my Reply-To header (infra bug? it is
correct in Sent); as we're not supposed to be discussing this here.
Yeah, I've asked about "pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied
by other packages in this slot)" on #gentoo-portage and it is a weird
state in the backtrack code; it was said by dwfreed there to
intentionally not remove the orphans until it finds a solution, since
it doesn't find one it outputs them. So, we just would need to remove
faux orphans as well when we reach a blocker we can't solve...
Anyhow, it is not a topic for the gentoo-dev ML, but thanks for
mentioning your opinions; I'll be trying to look into this with them.
