1 So, what do people think about removing (some) of the special treatment
2 for the "system" and "world" targets?
3 Mainly I'm interested in removing the "selective" parameter that's
4 currently enabled for them (so for example without that parameter
5 `emerge world` would default to remerging packages, unless --update or
6 --noreplace are specified). That change has already been requested a
7 few times in the past by users, but OTOH it could probably upset people
8 who don't use --update with world/system.

15 In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
16 Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
