When I read this, I realize I don't understand the difference between these two options. Or to be more accurate, I know that --deep means looking at dependencies beyond the first level; but isn't that just a superset of those found by --changed-deps? If so, how would two runs of emerge (each with one of these options) help? Based on my naive hypothesis above, emerge --deep would do everything that emerge --deep --changed-deps would. Or not?
