there are plenty of core tools that can be broken by other packages forcing |
9 |
broken behavior like library downgrades. and FEATURES=preserve-libs would |

gracefully handle this. |

off the top of my head, lib dependencies that can bring a system down: |
13 |
- bash links against ncurses & readline |
14 |
- sed links against acl |
15 |
- coreutils links against acl/libcap/selinux/gmp |
16 |
- grep links against pcre |
17 |
(with at least USE=acl being a profile default) |
18 |
|
19 |
so highlighting the grep/pcre dep doesn't seem like it accomplishes much |
