7 How is that broken behaviour? If a non-cvs ebuild can't download its
8 sources, it fatals as well.

14 If emerge is unable to download updated cvs sources, it seems to me that
15 it should be handled the same way non-cvs ebuilds handle not being able
16 to download their package sources. What you seem to be suggesting would
17 be analogous to the mozilla-1.6 ebuild using mozilla-source-1.5.tar.bz2
18 because it couldn't download mozilla-source-1.6.tar.bz2.
