I just unmerged device-mapper and updated lvm2 right after that. So in 
case of a crash or something during a longer world update I still have an 
intact system. I'm not sure if it would boot with the old lvm2 and without 
device-mapper, probably yes, but I did not want to take any risk.

Um, shouldn't the new portage have dealt auto-magically with this blocker?
