"  When a file under CONFIG_PROTECT doesn't exist yet, Portage 
simply installs it.  It would be nice to have an option (say 
--protectforreal) that makes emerge create a .cfg_0000_* file also 
when the destination file does not exist yet in the CONFIG_PROTECT 
area.  When first installing a system, one wouldn't want to use 
this option, but once a system is fully installed and stable, I 
wish to know about every change and addition in /etc."
