Why do you think emerge has columnar output like this, notice how the D |
| 14 |
is in a different column than anything else, it makes it pretty easy to |
| 15 |
spot, if you are too lazy to at least scan the output of emerge -p |
| 16 |
before actually running the emerge, don't complain when you break your |
| 17 |
system. |

We generally assume that our users have some intelligence, we don't put |
| 20 |
big fat warnings on everything that might break. We give the users all |
| 21 |
the information and let them decide if its going to break. Gentoo never |
| 22 |
was and never will be idiot-proof. We do not, and never will try to |
| 23 |
protect people from their own stupidity. |
