Description Jeff D 2003-12-13 16:57:02 UTC 
when a pkg maintainer makes a change, this change should only target certain systems where appropriate.  EX: a maintainer makes a commit: "update gcc to fix the BLAH on $ARCH systems."  Maybe all users are 'optional' for this update, but only systems with $ARCH are required for this update.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
fewer packages to rebuild on 'emerge update system'

i dont really think this happens all that often and thus isnt really an issue ...

usually bugs are cross platform

Too complicated for too little benefit.
