39 Portage is excessively verbose in it's output. With -v it dumps all
40 sorts of info to the console and it's incredibly hard to read.
41
42 It especially likes to print the full reasoning why it doesn't upgrade
43 some package to latest due to a dependency requirement, and it's this
44 that usually hides actual real problems in amongst all the noise.
45
46 The level of verbosity from portage over the past year really should
47 only be shown with -vvv
