Yes, there's always someone who says that (grin). |

Of course, it's 2nd nature to check for 'W' or 'S' in my list |
| 11 |
& if the pkg has neither, make sure to 'emerge -1 <pkgname>'. |
| 12 |
Anyway, isn't 'world' going to vanish with the new '@' sets ? |

& then run into nasty trouble for omitting RR or 'etc-update'. |
| 24 |
That's the spirit of Ubuntu & the rest, not the hands-on Gentoo approach. |
