Actually, that's a good reason to use --update on a single package, as |

it installs a new package, but does not reinstall an existing package, |

so you can emerge -u a list of packages and only install the new ones. |

However, you can now do that with -n, which does add to world, so this |
| 10 |
can also be used as an argument for -u to not touch world. I'm leaning |
| 11 |
towards the view that I would prefer world to be untouched, but, as I |
| 12 |
said, there's no compelling argument one way or the other. |

Maybe you can file a bug report that gets enough votes to persuade Zac to |

add a configuration option for this, or write the patch yourself. |
