I have a question about the "Global Updates" that portage currently performs
every now and then (moving packages and stuff...).
I am not clear how exactly it works, but is there a reason why the files are
named #Q-YEAR? Since portage applies the updates in alphabetic order and since
interrupting portage at inappropriate time makes it try and perform the updates
in all files, doesn't it make more sense to name the files so that they sort in
time ascending order? Instead of 3Q-2003 make it 2003-3Q.
