Something like emerge --undo-updates world that puts everything back to the way it was before a recent upgrade. Maybe even make it so we can set a stable point and return to that. Crap, that sounds like something windoze has. o_O I still think it would be a cool idea. Sometimes upgrades cause all kinds of issues and need to be undone. Going back to a known stable point would be great. Now someone tell me this exists already. lol They have added so much to portage lately I haven't been able to keep up. Dale :-) :-)
