No, you're missing the point; by not rev-bumping, that 90% don't get forced |
| 16 |
to remerge. Honestly, the devs are just trying to avoid unnecessary |
| 17 |
recompiles. |

My advice is to log onto irc.freenode.org and ask these kinda questions in |
| 19 |
#gentoo-dev-help as they'll explain if asked. If there is a valid use-case, |
| 20 |
then you can post it as an enhancement request on bugzilla. |
