agreed but still, having such a feature straight on emerge is nice, i've |

gone the debian way mainly because of this. |

Both aree important to me. I have a small environment of Debian boxes, |
| 13 |
about 10 Debian servers (ranging from woody to sarge) and about 15 |
| 14 |
Debian workstations all using sarge (but the latter is out of scope in |
| 15 |
this discussion). Knowing that without reinstalling, i could install |
| 16 |
much more recent (but still stable) software would be a nice added |
| 17 |
value. |

Does this mean that security updates will take longer to get into the |
| 23 |
server version of gentoo ? |

I'll be following that GLEP and see what can be done, i'm willing to |
| 26 |
dedicate some time on helping that project to see the light :) |
