So that you don't record sys-fs/e2fsprogs in the world set. It's pulled in as a dependency from the system set anyway (that's why the --unmerge will tell you that you're unmerging a system package, and that you'll potentially break your system), and I personally don't like unnecessary packages cluttering up my world set, so I always use --oneshot in cases like this. But, if you leave it out, it does no harm, either. --- Heiko.
