Many, many people on the forums seem to be unaware of the dangers of a blind emerge -u/U system/world. They run it, something breaks and they have no idea what it was because they didn't see any important information along the way. I think a little warning is needed to make people aware of emerging blindly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11359 ***
Doesn't look like a dup to me...? The enhancements in 11359 are extra logging. My patch makes portage produce a warning when running emerge -u world/system. "- /usr/bin/emerge uses dump() to dump the ELOGFILE to stdout." - This wont stop people running blind world updates in the first place as by the time ELOGFILE gets dumped the damage will have been done.
yes, the extra logging logs all that information you would miss if you did a blind update ... thus people could do a blind update, come back later, read the logged output, and then figure out what they need to do to not have a bj0rked system
Well thats a kind of odd way of handling the problem IMO, but your the boss.
postemptive ;)
