17 Hi,
18 When i run world update, I usually don't really check all the written stuff.
19
20 If I do this, I'm sure a lot more Gentoo users do the same.
21 So do expect people rebooting the machine without checking what your have
22 wrote.
23 This can be a major headache if you have few systems that are doing auto
24 updates.
25 I would solve this issue by stopping the emerge and getting the attention of
26 the user.
27 If I don't get the attention of the user, no openrc will be installed.
28 It should be something like emerge -C ... 1 .2 3 4 5...
29
30 To conclude, you can't issue such a change without proper confirmation from
31 the user.

33 Regards,
