    Not sure if my memory is failing already but I no longer see those “Update portage before anything else” messages.

    When something tries to overwrite stuff in /etc and you have to etc-update your shit… that’s when things get real

      Really hate those few packages that don’t give a shit whether or not you’ve already configured it or not…

      Yes. Once I actually locked myself out of using sudo and then forgot my root password because I updated the stuff without looking at the content of those files

      I just had one of those portage update messages btw, so they are for sure still a thing
