[gentoo-user] Cleaning redundant configuration files:
What you seem to ignore or miss in the discussion is that an
emerge -C is necessary at times during an upgrade and rebuild when
package dependencies are not perfect.
See my follow-up to Volker Armin Hemmann on this.

It's not a rare situation as you imply in that followup and
copying off/backing up and then restoring is a lot of busywork and
fraught with risk when the current situation works just fine, thank you
very much.
If the current situation is unacceptable to you, why not create a patch
and work to get it approved?
Please make it optional with the default being the existing behavior.

+1. Me, I like the idea but don't want it to be the default option. If
-CC won't work, then let it be some other option that can be added to
-C. I just know that the vast majority of the time, I do NOT want my
config files deleted. I wouldn't mind having the option available but
just not the default.
