That's an implementation detail that used to be true but isn't any longer. That's why it no longer says "[ebuild N ]" for all packages with -e. Doing so caused problems with circular dependencies. It just remerges everything in world and all their dependencies. Calling it 'everything' is wrong too as it doesn't do anything with packages that aren't in world or a dependency of something in world. -- Bo Andresen
