I tried doing an "emerge -auvND world" today.  It's been three days
since the previous update, and today portage wants to update 1 package
and install _35_new_ones_.

Seriously?  35 new packages that I have to install on Monday that I
didn't have to have the previous Friday?  A few of them are virtual
packages, but the vast majority are actual package that I neither want
nor need (other than to satisfy a requirement imposed by a new USE
flag that defaults to "on" when it should have defaulted to "off").

I realize that every developer thinks think their pariticular package
is the greatest thing ever and should be installed on everything since
the TI SR-54 calculator, but this seems a bit silly...
