On a Gentoo system one should *always* perform a --pretend update run and check the output, before doing the real update |

It's not "timid" to disable IPv6 support is by setting USE="-ipv6" - that's just the right way to do it. |

You have just shifted the work from occasionally having to set -ipv6 (and similar) in your make.conf, to regularly having to add +mp3 +jpeg +vlc +minimal every time you emerge a new package. |
