19 Why can't ebuilds like icu be made like openssl or openldap where the
20 libs are not replaced, but old libs stay and a text is displayed to use
21 redep-rebuild and afterwards rm the old libs?
22
23 That way software doesn't suddenly brake until you reemerge half your
24 desktop/servers (only to reemerge everything again the next day, because
25 that lib gets suddenly masked).
26
27 I like the behavior of openldap and openssl, I'd like to have that for
28 gfx-libs that brake the desktop (like icu) too.

30 Please, please do it dear gentoo devs :)
