I was thinking more for an easier way to handle emerge -uDN @world for
end-users with gnome2 installed but that don't want to immediately
switch to systemd and gnome3 to get the rest of their updates.  If the
package(s) are masked by profile and so the -uDN doesn't do the
upgrade until after the profile is switched, this might provide the
end users with time to prepare themselves while still keeping the rest
of their world up-to-date and not needing to mess with package.mask in
the meantime.
