Nice placement of the space behind the dollar sign! No money for you.

Where do we state to have a fully up-to-date system before filing a bug?

This in particular becomes interesting to do when the bug keeps you from
updating your system; or even further, rendering it non bootable.

We need to fix things such that people have a working system that they
can bring up-to-date; not the other way around, as that is pointless.

Automatic updates is a goal to pursue; well, at least if you want
everyone to have a fully up-to-date bootable system that can update.

Why do you point to a manual which does not document such feature?

No. The gentoo-user@ ML can't do anything about a missing feature.
