I read it, several times. And never stated it, that no -e system/world is 
needed. MAybe YOU looked at it in a wrong moment?
But even if there was such a box - GWN did NOT state, that it was absolutly 
riskless. You are talking bullshit!

some weeks/month ago?
There were many qt updates in the past. And each of them required to reemerge 
some kde packages. But it seems, that you don't want to understand that.

I wrote it above! Until now every qt update that ever happened, broke some qt 
apps. Every! But you don't read, you are just sullen.

You are pretty deep in 'Beleidigte Leberwurst' mode.

I have read it, and I have quoted it. You are pretty obviously not able to 
understand. Two possible reasons: you don't want to understand, or you are 
stupid. Choose which one fits best.

It said most people should not experience any problems.

See? 'MOST' - most is not everybody. And 'SHOULD NOT ' which is very different 
from 'won't'.

But you are not willing to see, that YOU are the one, who did not read it 
carefully, do you? You jumped into the unknown water and now, you are 
complaining, that it is cold.
