8 You have to ask the one who implemented that. Maybe it was for
9 performance reasons (dynamic-deps cause a lot of overhead
10 themselves...), maybe just because it was hard to implement it

13 Feel free to provide a patch. Just please don't forget that you
14 shouldn't write the updates before emerge finishes updates or starts
15 depclean on relevant packages, so that the installed package dependency
16 tree doesn't end up being broken.
