Why are libraries being preserved? |

When exactly are those consumers detected? |

When exactly does this happen? At the end of any emerge action? |

When and why? Do I run this once? Do I need to run this often? |

Besides these questions, the transition from revdep-rebuild to |
| 29 |
@preserved-rebuild may be worth a note as well; if I remember correctly |
| 30 |
you have to do one last revdep-rebuild when you enable this feature, or |
| 31 |
in other words preserve-libs won't detect present inconsistencies. I |
| 32 |
feel like this should probably be documented as well, as part of |
| 33 |
mentioning that this is intended to replace revdep-rebuild... |
