I like it, it's really slick. :)
The only problem I foresee, is that the list of packages is hardcoded.
I think the only real way to get _real_ safe unmerging is for portage
to treat major version numbers as separate packages or handle them in
some special way. I believe I heard word that dependancy checking will
be done before an unmerge in the upcoming portage, so maybe that will
solve the issue.
Anyway, thanks, it's great.
