If you don't want that to happen, use package sets and exclusion. |

I haven't ran revdep-rebuild for a year, you can set |
| 15 |
FEATURES="preserve-libs" which will preserve any libs, once libs are |
| 16 |
being preserved you can then get rid of them by doing an `emerge |
| 17 |
@preserved-rebuild` whenever you feel like as opposed to when |
| 18 |
something breaks. It's not a default yet, but will probably be so... |

Packages such as kdelibs are huge for no good reason, either look for |
| 26 |
lighter alternatives or don't upgrade them often if they bother you. |

Why? You shouldn't need to do the downgrade here. |

This is why I avoid huge packages where I can. |

Features and fixes are backported, don't wait for that stabilization. |
