For my part, I only want the ~86 builds for specific packages (at this point, Apache 2.0.44 is the only one.) I decided to change the "net-www/apache" line in my world file to "=net-www/apache-2.0.44", which had the desired side effect of excluding apache from the "emerge -up world" report (previously, this always wanted to downgrade to 1.3.27.) I think that's a solution I can live with for now, but the downside is I won't be alerted by "emerge -up world" when 2.0.45 makes it in to portage. I'm not really sure what the best way to handle this is; perhaps what I really want is ">net-www/apache-2"?
