25 Emerge does behave properly in this case.
26 The problem is that you mistakenly interpret --pretend --fetchonly as "pretend
27 to fetch". --pretend will list the packages that would be emerged, --fetchonly
28 either lists the required files or downloads them.
29 This is very handy to know which files would be required and to write your own
30 scripts to check whether you already have them.
31
32 Behaviour should not change IMHO.
