I was thinking more for an easier way to handle emerge -uDN @world for end-users with gnome2 installed but that don't want to immediately switch to systemd and gnome3 to get the rest of their updates. If the package(s) are masked by profile and so the -uDN doesn't do the upgrade until after the profile is switched, this might provide the end users with time to prepare themselves while still keeping the rest of their world up-to-date and not needing to mess with package.mask in the meantime. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlIDzjYACgkQ2ugaI38ACPCZDgD7BfBFfsBKDYPa6SEo3o9J8l51 gVVhQAT19txT2gFRAQoA/2fJn2OZJDUGvAwRPcaY2RDgclpqsgLSn3JEH2QhiogE =loRa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
