/signed, :)
The emerge --news is quite worth considering, and on p.g.o, stuart
mentioned having emerge to produce outputs like this after a sync:
<quote>
# emerge sync
<Portage syncs the tree>
* Important: 3 config files in /etc need updating.
* Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.
* Important: there are 5 unread news items.
* Type emerge --news to read news about changes to Gentoo.

which I think is also a brilliant idea.
