What would such a disruptive change really gain us? I personally feel
our users need consistency from Gentoo. If they grew up doing
'emerge world' and have come to expect that behavior and all of the
sudden we change behavior on them.. Yeah I can see how ppl would get
upset. Perhaps a less intrusive way would be to introduce another flag
to get the specified behavior you are after.
