because doing active development on ebuilds by definition invalidates
the manifest. portage didnt use to whine about it at all. a lot
easier to `emerge foo` without having to manually run `ebuild foo
manifest` all the damn time.
personally, i use FEATURES=digest on my development machine, but i can
see how people would find this undesirable as a profile default.
