I guess that's fine, but I have to wonder how many people are really
that lazy. To me, it actually seems like more effort to highlight the
span of characters with the mouse than it does to type them out.

Also, when the work "read" appears twice on a short line like that, it
gives a wordy/redundant feeling.

People are. I do recall some time ago someone asked me what the full
command was and why it wasnt just printed like the @preserved-rebuild
message.

Perhaps better would be "'eselect news read' to view new items"? ie.
view instead of the second read.

A timely idea when a Gentoo user has already been caught out by the CPU
flags move. Nice one!
