I'm not sure that's really a feasible solution (but then you probably weren't |
| 11 |
suggesting it with that intention). Being able to create a "backup" of any |
| 12 |
installed package without re-emerging is pretty handy. Many people use it and |
| 13 |
there would be a revolt if quickpkg were removed. |

I use FEATURES="buildpkg" myself, so I've always got that backup. |
