ewarn 'When updating sip, you usually need to recompile packages that'
    ewarn 'depend on sip, such as PyQt4 and qscintilla-python. If you have'
    ewarn 'app-portage/gentoolkit installed you can find these packages with'
    ewarn '`equery d sip` and `equery d PyQt4`.'

These should be changed to elog IMO. Otherwise it's too easy to miss, see bug #307513.

Or users should learn how to configure portage's elog functionality... The current defaults are:

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="log warn error"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save_summary echo"

thus warning messages (from ewarn) are echoed just like messages from elog. I don't see how switching to elog would improve the situation.

Ewarn has a _higher_ priority than elog, so the message should be more visible in the current situation. If it's not, then that is a question of user configuration, and nothing we can do something about on our end.
