I like it, it's really slick. :) |

The only problem I foresee, is that the list of packages is hardcoded. |
| 15 |
I think the only real way to get _real_ safe unmerging is for portage |
| 16 |
to treat major version numbers as separate packages or handle them in |
| 17 |
some special way. I believe I heard word that dependancy checking will |
| 18 |
be done before an unmerge in the upcoming portage, so maybe that will |
| 19 |
solve the issue. |

Anyway, thanks, it's great. |
