 Hi guys,
 
 I just wrote a GLEP, proposing a solution to the problem that updating
 f.ex. openssl, requires recompiling almost world
 (kde,mozilla,galeon,wget,irrsi,python etc.) - and breaks your system if
 you don't complete all this, while you are running (since the old
 openssl files are removed after the openssl upgrade -and programs that
 haven't been recompiled will break).
 
 You can see it here:
 http://vsen.dk/files/GLEP-Making_updates_never_break_dependencies.txt
 
 I hope you like the idea, and the proposed solution. Please comment if
 you have any questions, as I would very much like to see this happen, so
 I can run emerge -u world again :)
