That's right, but if there are two available ~arch versions, one of |
| 7 |
which has all stable dependencies and (the newer) one of which has all |
| 8 |
~arch dependencies, then portage will try to install the newer one and |
| 9 |
tell you to keyword a million things -- even though it could install the |
| 10 |
first one with less hassle. |

For example, if you're on a system with no ruby packages, then it's the |
| 13 |
difference between having to keyword 10 packages for rails-x.y.z versus |
| 14 |
200 packages for rails-x.y.(z+1). I'd rather have the slightly older |
| 15 |
version that requires less configuration. |
