Not going to unleash that on my production systems.
Here's a little secret: The only code differences between portage 2.1 and 2.2 appear to be one file managing features, so 2.1 just has preserved-rebuild and some of the set support disabled. But if you trust 2.1 enough to use it you also shouldn't have a problem with 2.2. There's still a few silly bugs with preserved-rebuild (corner cases like downgrades and stupid build systems), but I've not had any problematic behaviour in quite a long time ... -- Patrick Lauer http://service.gentooexperimental.org Gentoo Council Member and Evangelist Part of Gentoo Benchmarks, Forensics, PostgreSQL, KDE herds
