Frankly getting fairly annoyed people are immediately taking it to the rhel/ubuntu extremes- that is *not* what I asked and is frankly a strawman argument. Occasional pain on upgrades is a given in gentoo, although anyone claiming we've not kept an eye on those sharp corners is delusional (versioned eapi, etc-update's very existance, portage warning on removal of a pkg in the system set, the list goes on). Hell, even the notification mechanism y'all want to use for informing is an example of trying to soften those corners were possible, rather than precluding their existance. I asked if we had looked at scripting away some of the upgrade pains. It's a pretty simple fucking question requiring either a 5 second "no" or 5 minutes of "yes, heres what we looked at, they were deemed too painful". Answering that also is a helluva lot quicker then people trading barbs over "we need to release it now" or proper SA; while your retort was dead on for what folks should do, it was completely unrelated to answering the question I'm *asking*. If we didn't look into it, that's fine. Means I've got something to poke at over the weekend. If we did, and it was ruled out, awesome, I have other things on my todo list I'll poke at this weekend. ~harring
