It's not. Not if you want to be able to do background fetches, not if |
| 7 |
you want to be able to show the user at --pretend time what's going to |
| 8 |
happen, and not if you want to give the user proper control of what |
| 9 |
will happen. |

Nor is this something that can be done as a hack without package manager |
| 12 |
help -- you can't 'skip' a package from within a package, and even if |
| 13 |
you could you can't know whether that's what the user wants (they might |
| 14 |
be doing an emerge -e, for example). |
