11 Yes, exactly. For two reasons:
12
13 1. In the vast majority of cases, there's something to deal with and I
14 like to deal with it now. Missing patch files are comparatively rare for
15 me, whereas X doesn't build with the latest version of Y is somewhat
16 common. I'd rather mask the new version of Y and let portage re-figure
17 things out.
18
19 2. My over-the-top OCDness won't let me leave the bloody thing alone and
20 let it finish, if I know there's an error in there I feel compelled to
21 hit Ctrl-C and find out what the error is :-)
