After using Gentoo for close to two years, the only time/place I've ever even seen @preserved-rebuild is in this thread. Yet you say, "Portage will warn you when the set is [it] non-empty, telling you to run emerge @preserved-rebuild." How will portage do this? An alias 'ud' alias ud='eix-sync && emerge -aDjNuv @world && dispatch-conf && emerge -a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit' is run every morning with my first cup of coffee. If something were changed or left off that alias do you suppose this mysterious @preserved-rebuild would be run?
