Greets,

So while gearing up for the Summer of Code, I noted a lot of things that I had come to accept as normal that I feel should not be so. Things like the danger of depclean or the way portage will only show one mask at a time. So I was curious...what have people that are /not/ myself and my mate noticed that is mildly irritating and disruptive to the Gentoo experience?

I just thought of this one. Sometimes devs love to change ebuilds without bumping them. That's annoying; a bug gets fixed and you don't know about it because "emerge -u" doesn't find any newer version or revision. It would be helpful in this case if emerge had an option to check if the installed ebuild differs from the one in the tree/overlays.
