Oh, that's not a bug, it's a feature (C) some_unknown_company |

AFAIK portage won't remove any changed (by hand) files in |
| 11 |
CONFIG_PROTECT paths, and I've certainly can't remember a package, |
| 12 |
which installs anything into ~. |
| 13 |
Of course, if you'll launch installed app it'll create some config, |
| 14 |
temp files, etc, but that'll only affect the paths to which it has |
| 15 |
access, and that's probably only your ~ and /tmp. |

And as soon as portage will start to "clean up" your home from |
| 18 |
app-created files like, say, some documents you've spent weeks working |
| 19 |
on, it'll certainly make it to the top-10 evil linux viruses out there. |
