Current situation:
something rust has been updated. almost everything depends on the new rust. firefox still needs the old rust. -> tons of conflicts that requrire endless cycles of trying to emerge, scroll through lots of lines, select a few things to mask, try again.
At the same time:
glibc has updates because of CVEs, curl the same, a few other packages the same.
</story mode>

What I would like to have is a flag to emerge that says:
I know you have issues. Just do what you can without touching anything problematic.

Reproducible: Always

This type of request is highly dependent on the specific emerge command and options used. If you're talking about emerge --update --deep @world, then you may be struggling with noise triggered by built slot-operator deps (bug 598503).
