[gentoo-user] Why are some packages in portage's output bold?

[Ryan Curtin]

Some time ago, I noticed that whenever I ran my semi-weekly 'emerge
-uavD world', some packages were given in bold.  For a while I thought
perhaps they were more system-critical packages, but upon further
investigation I could find no sort of pattern to which packages were
being bolded and which weren't.  Then I thought maybe it was a local
bug, but soon thereafter some of my friends noticed the same thing in
their portage outputs.

Does anyone know why this behavior occurs?  To me it doesn't appear to
be providing any sort of useful information and only serves to confuse
me.

Thanks,

Ryan
