4 In absence of someone who really knows, comments in the source code
5 imply that the feature you are asking for has not been implemented just

13 | I have no idea what the last sentence is supposed to mean, but the
14 | first sentence promises exactly what I want: namely to not
15 | downgrade... but that's not what emerge delivers. Is that an error of
16 | documentation, of implementation, or of interpretation on my part?
17 |
18 | Without such an option (with the semantics that I want), it is
19 | extremely inconvenient to upgrade your system, while not downgrading
20 | the select few ~x86 packages that you have emerged.
21 |
22 | Any insights?

24 | Cheers,
