But even if that's the case (I wouldn't know), it's the case due to a
deliberate decision of those going "under the bus", because portage is
the default, and by choosing to use some other PM, they've deliberately
chosen its (non-PMS) features over those of portage.
Just as I, by choosing --newuse instead, have chosen to do rebuilds in
such cases, even with portage.
(Tho TBH I've never noticed that particular case, probably because it's
lost in the noise compared to --changed-deps (enabled when static-deps
were newer and I wanted to be sure, likely unneeded these days) and smart-
live-rebuild of my (live) kde packages.)
