well, not quite. the way we agreed in the past was to not revbump the

Is there somewhere which tells users when there are upgrades to
toolchain packages which are not revbumped once they have been unmasked
and in ~arch?
if they arent revbumped, then the changes dont matter to you
This isn't always the case though, due to developer mistakes. Sometimes
when doing emerge -e system, there are changes in /etc files that affect
runtime behavior rather than build behavior. And it seems to happen
quite often. This is with non-masked packages though.
It's the reason I do emerge -e system quite often (every 3 months or
so); runtime fixes are applied by devs without revbumps.
