Perhaps it just needs to be more popular, or maybe it needs to understand |
| 15 |
slots better (in order to be popular). I know that all of the kernels I |
| 16 |
install tell me that support for devfs was removed long before the oldest |
| 17 |
kernel available in portage as of when I installed the machine. |

It also doesn't look like it's something where it would be able to choose |
| 20 |
to upgrade postfix 2.2.10 to 2.2.10-r1 instead of to 2.3.5 because 2.3.5 |
| 21 |
would require help and 2.2.10-r1 is automatic. |
