Doesn't package.mask get replaced on each "emerge --clean rsync" ?
And wouldn't removing mozilla from /var/cache/edb/world mean that I won't get any /future/ updates, (ie. -r4)

Please, tell me if i'm wrong.

These seem to be get-arounds rather than designed solutions. Surely there's a way to flag that you don't want a particular update, recorded on your own pc, not in an every-changing portage tree.  A local package mask file?

Thanks for the info tho ppl,
