It's not about broken/experimental, it's about the logical consequences of an explicit action taken by the user. The user must get feedback based on what they said that they wanted to do, not based on what is experimental. Mentioning that something is experimental is an optional bonus, but assuming that the user already knows that this is the case is OK too. portage should say, with as similar wording as possible: "If you want to emerge libXt with those USE flags then you'll also have to set those same USE flags for libYt and libZt because libXt DEPENDs on them." Bonus points: "Would you like me to set those USE flags for libYt and libZt for you? [Y/n]" //Peter
