RE: [gentoo-user] Exluding some apps from emerge --update world

Related to this, is there a way to NOT get notified of all the minor
increments?

I'd rather just upgrade when a new "real" version is available instead of
all these itty bitty incremental upgrades like "rc1" "rc2" etc. or 0.5.2-r1
and 0.5.2-r3 etc.  But I would consider 0.5.3 and certainly want 0.6.x
