Mildly irritating, disruptive, etc: - Managing USE flags is sometimes quite irritating, having to fidget around /etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/package.use and such with everyone's favourite text editors. (Maybe I'm micromanaging them too much?) - Keeping the crud out of /etc/portage/package.keywords and other similar portage files (much like with the case of USE flags above) for us who don't run bleeding edge ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="arch ~arch". - Difficulty of predicting how long some new package compilations (with dependencies, upgrades and revdep-rebuilds etc) will actually take (genlop -t only knows about individual packages that have been emerged before) - Portage 2.2 stopping dead with "you should re-emerge foo with USE=bar" with the new cat/foo[bar]-style dependencies. -- Arttu V.
