Since the default behavior is now for emerge to terminate early for autounmask changes (unless either --autounmask-backtrack=y or --autounmask-continue is enabled), it is much less likely that time will be wasted by fruitless backtracking. Therefore, raise the default backtrack value from 3 to 10, restoring it to the value it had prior to commit 1891388ea0ae0dd58903a71a3adc779731523601 (see bug 536926). This will allow many users to avoid having to manually raise the --backtrack value.
