Mes amis,

Please be informed that the latest baselayout update might very likely
needs a reboot.

Here's some info I repost from Gentoo-user list. For the full thread, check
out its archive.

I asked about this a while back but never got a decent answer...

*Especially* for servers, there really, REALLY needs to be a way to see
this kind of warning BEFORE updating... ie, the warning should be printed
to the screen during an 'emerge -pvuDN world' or something, so I know that
a reboot will be required for this update.
