Looks to me like you added in a huge problem to fix a minor one. |

Yes, the devs will occasionally make a mistake. This is rare but it |
| 18 |
does happen because bugs happen. In a case like this just add "-ipv6" |
| 19 |
to USE and things go back to what they were. Or, when previewing what |
| 20 |
emerge world wants to do, note that a new flag is enabled, remove it |
| 21 |
yourself and let emerge world proceed when you are happy with it. |
| 22 |
|

But now you have to do all that heavy lifting yourself, every single |
| 24 |
time you want to emerge anything. |
