That's why I tend to spend the time to briefly summarize what the version bump actually improves for users by upstream (see my gstreamer bumps for example). I spend the time once, thousands of users get the information handily with emerge --changelog and the like, without digging into /usr/share/doc/*/NEWS* _after_ upgrading and already having had to do the work to decide if its important upgrade for them or not (in case of conservative upgrading). -- Mart Raudsepp
