Yes, absolutely. I would consider this to be the normal scenario.

Well, it was totally worth wasting 10 hours of your time not to have  
to delete one line of a text file.  ;)

FWIW I have in .bashrc:

    alias ssg="ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/ 
dev/null"


I do totally sympathise with you on trying to open bugs & improve  
Gentoo. I have been brushed off and received snotty responses from  
devs on a number of occasions. They're either a bunch of arrogant  
knobs, or they simply deal with bugs in a terse manner (which, totally  
unintended, happens to offend certain people such as you & I). I  
suppose charitably we must assume the latter.

Stroller.
