FWIW, I appreciate notices like this. As an end user, I only know that |
| 11 |
I'll need to build the ~dozen or so packages `emerge -pvuD world` lets |
| 12 |
me know about. Anything that lets me know that I need to allocate time |
| 13 |
for (and factor in the risk of) rebuilding all of, say, GNOME is good. |
| 14 |
I don't know that GLEP 42 items are the most appropriate way of doing |
| 15 |
this, but they seem to be the best way, at present. |

Similarly for updates where there's any sort of upgrade guide or manual |
| 18 |
process required (e.g., TeX live, Gnome 2.22, GCC, &c.), as there's no |
| 19 |
indication from emerge output that such a guide exists. |
