I really really hope that you want this to be a totally optional feature
that is never ever enabled by default.

When I run emerge -uD world on a server I don't accept any ebuild
waiting for interactive input. For stagebuilding and other activities
this behaviour is also unacceptable.

Patch the ebuilds with your .config
