Because, on my two dev machines i run ~x86, And applying -u world daily there could be bad for health I -always- check the updates, and stay clear of glibc/system stuff unless I'm ready to do the updates. And a kernel update could fill my disks if I'm not careful. On my stable systems, all are production things, and I stay clear of updating unless theres a good reason to do so. Frankly, CPUpower is valued, and the few packs that go in are only applied after the originals are backed up (packages) and I have rescue possibilities. Better safe than sorry. Other reasons for this behaviour is my partial hacked util-linux to have loop-aes and encrypted drives. This makes a mistake with "emerge util-linux" in the wrong place a fatal mistake. Frankly, I see no reason to update kdelibs as soon as its released, since I seldom use it. I update packs I have use for, the rest will wait until I have time and CPU power to burn. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
