Two options: |

* Smarter updates handling by portage. For example, maybe it could |
| 10 |
realise that the package in question has been moved, and automatically |
| 11 |
do the update (along with a QA notice: assumed package move blah). This |
| 12 |
would also help for those unfortunate times when we don't manage to do a |
| 13 |
huge package move in under the required half an hour. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* Unique ID strings for packages, zynot style. Messy as hell though, |
| 16 |
DEPEND="foo/bar {12379812AD7382164BD87678652438FC65E43A2}" doesn't have |
| 17 |
the same kind of ring to it... |
