Rather than a message like the above. I think portage should generate a |
| 12 |
message/warning saying you are removing a package that is not in your |
| 13 |
world file. Which means you are removing a package you did not install |
| 14 |
directly. Just like if you were to remove a system package. |

That way people would know if they are removing something that is a |
| 17 |
dependency. |
