Say an admin has a server setup and wants an easy way to monitor a
certain group of packages for updates so he/she can choose to ignore or
update.

my list = [apache, mod_1, mod_2, mysql, webapp1, webapp2,...]

having them grouped into one list and doing an:

# emerge -up --list mylist

would indicate easily if any packages in the special list are upgradable
irregardless of whether it is in world, system, whatever.
