7 That will be ideal, but I was more concerned with the frequent
8 blockers, dep issues, etc.

10 The dep issues are almost always bugs, and usually get fixed as such
11 (eventually). The blockers tend to be a result of a stage3 that is
12 behind on some system package, and those eventually go away as well.
13 However, it seems like more often than not simply unpacking a stage3
14 and setting a few USE flags is not sufficient for an emerge kde-meta
15 to "just work."
