It didn't catch everything. Right now I'm recompiling xscreensaver. |

The thing which I'm talking about is, if there are _specific_ caveats |
| 35 |
such as with this new app, it shouldn't even go ahead and |
| 36 |
compile/upgrade/update. It should just shoot the ebuild einfo and then |
| 37 |
force manual intervention. |

Updates are usually done at night. Output is not seen. That's why. If I |
| 40 |
knew that it might break anything, I wouldn't leave it overnight to |
| 41 |
update and then go to work and find Evo(or important "X" app) wouldn't |
| 42 |
work and cause undue frustration. |
