7 Known long standing pitfall. It's managable.

13 If they are really as broken people claim, why is the feature enabled by
14 default in the
15 official package manager?
16 As in, why I'm not seeing a bug with title "sys-apps/portage: disable
17 dynamic deps by default"
18 with a Comment #0 listing all the culprits why it should be disabled by
19 default?
20 Or do people think it works well enough, so that it's pros overweight
21 the cons? I do,
22 and many others seem to think so as well.
