but then it may be too late. |

I just did a test, moved by package.mask away and called |
| 11 |
emerge --pretend --update world . |
| 12 |
It would downgrade lots of packages, ie. bugzilla to an older version |
| 13 |
not yet supporting postgresql and so immediately make many services |
| 14 |
(ie. all my bugzilla installations) unusable. |

Re-masking must be handled very carefully. At least portage has to |
| 17 |
know how some package was masked at installation time and shout out |
| 18 |
an big-fat warning, if an mask was added later. |
