Hi, |

I'm not sure if I missed something here but removing the packages from |
| 12 |
the world-file (/var/lib/portage/world) should work. |
| 13 |
Also you could emerge them using the --oneshot option in the first place |
| 14 |
to avoid adding them to the world-file. |

However are you really sure you want to exclude packages with frequent |
| 17 |
security-issues like firefox and the kernel from being updated? |
