Portage is excessively verbose in it's output. With -v it dumps all
sorts of info to the console and it's incredibly hard to read.

It especially likes to print the full reasoning why it doesn't upgrade
some package to latest due to a dependency requirement, and it's this
that usually hides actual real problems in amongst all the noise.

The level of verbosity from portage over the past year really should
only be shown with -vvv
