And I strongly suggest to leave old mechanism of portage, because we

Mandriva with all creators and cheap installer - couple apps not

Don't get me wrong - I also have that problems, and they make me
nervous, but when I think what could I done by automatic replace
package or binary then I get to thinking that everything is ok...
Nobody is suggesting getting rid of all blocks or automating upgrades
that shouldn't be automated.
They're suggesting adding a little more intelligence to the current
system. Really safe upgrades might happen automatically. Others
might still fail, but would contain more informational errors. Others
might just continue as they do currently.
You don't complain when you upgrade from shorewall 3.4.7 to 3.4.8 and
portage auto-uninstalls 3.4.7 when you're done, do you? The whole
point of a package manager is to automate routine and safe
activities. The alternative is manual install of tarballs...
And tell me, why whole day _no_one_ could wrote that like this? Thanks
for info.
