Well, there sort-of is something like that already - the Changelog. The |
| 8 |
trouble with news-announce-change lists is that no-one can ever make up their |
| 9 |
mind as to what goes on it and what doesn't, so they end up sooner or later |
| 10 |
being a dump for the entire Changelog (which you already have :-) ) |

I've been caught out by this stuff too many times. Now I always read |
| 13 |
/var/portage/profiles/package.mask before an update. With a bit of practise |
| 14 |
anf doing it frequently, you get a good idea of what parts of the tree are |
| 15 |
active and where changes are being made. Helps with predicting stuff :-) |
