Feature enhancements are on hold until the 227 currently open bugs are |
| 6 |
organized properly and the count lessened somewhat. Note, most existing |
| 7 |
feature requests have been marked as LATER so the above number is pretty |
| 8 |
much only real bugs. |

Removing distfiles for packages when they are unmerged/upgraded will be added. |

When removing all distfiles, you'd end up downloading the same file several |
| 15 |
times when there are updates to the revision. |

This has not been considered, so opening a bug for this would be okay. Adding |
| 20 |
an "all" target is planned, which would cover everything installed regardless |
| 21 |
of presence in system or world. With such a target, changing "world" to not |
| 22 |
automatically include "system" should be fine. |

This is also planned. |
