When googling for advice, you may want to include "site:gentoo.org" 
in your terms, and maybe even "handbook".
Searching for 'blocking site:gentoo.org handbook' gives a link to a 
Portage Introduction and one to a Quick Install Guide that although 
very terse are together clear enough, in my opinion.

If A was in world, it was by definition not needed.  Sure, the user 
wanted the package, but that is something else.  :)

No need to tell the user that: she will remember which packages she 
wants to have installed.
