16 So that you don't record sys-fs/e2fsprogs in the world set.
17
18 It's pulled in as a dependency from the system set anyway (that's why
19 the --unmerge will tell you that you're unmerging a system package, and that
20 you'll potentially break your system), and I personally don't like
21 unnecessary packages cluttering up my world set, so I always use --oneshot in
22 cases like this.
23
24 But, if you leave it out, it does no harm, either.
