I can't imagine anyone who missed those messages before will read the now, just because we added a sleep and maybe even beeps to it. IMHO those messages are only missed during emerge -u/e world, because you probably won't sit there hours or days, waiting for some important message, but hey... You still don't sit there if it beeps and sleeps! -- Markus Nigbur Gentoo Developer http://www.gentoo.org
